Some Purple Bacteria Harvest Light Using Bacteriochlorophylls

Question

Some purple bacteria harvest light using bacteriochlorophylls.

Accepted Answer

Purple bacteria are a group of bacteria that use bacteriochlorophylls to harvest light energy for photosynthesis. These bacteriochlorophylls are similar to chlorophylls found in plants and algae, but they absorb light at longer wavelengths, such as the infrared range.
