Oxygenic Phototrophs Require the Uptake of Oxygen for the Reactions

Question

Oxygenic phototrophs require the uptake of oxygen for the reactions of photosynthesis.

Accepted Answer

Oxygenic phototrophs, such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, rather than requiring it for the process. They use water as an electron donor, splitting it into oxygen and hydrogen ions.
