The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bacterial Photosynthesis**: - Bacterial photosynthesis is a process where bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. This process is different from that in plants. 2. **Types of Photophosphorylation**: - There are two main types of photophosphorylation: cyclic and non-cyclic. - Cyclic photophosphorylation involves only Photosystem I. - Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both Photosystem I and Photosystem II. 3. **Bacterial Mechanism**: - In bacterial photosynthesis, particularly in green sulfur bacteria, cyclic photophosphorylation occurs. - Bacteria use hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor, which means they do not release oxygen during this process. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - The question asks which photosystem is involved in bacterial photosynthesis. - Since bacterial photosynthesis primarily involves cyclic photophosphorylation, the correct answer is Photosystem I. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question "Bacterial photosynthesis involves…" is **Photosystem I**.
