Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process requires chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts.

Identify organisms that contain chlorophyll: Chlorophyll is primarily found in plants, algae, and certain bacteria. Animals and fungi do not have chlorophyll and therefore cannot perform photosynthesis.

Recognize the role of bacteria in photosynthesis: Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are capable of photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll and can convert light energy into chemical energy.

Differentiate between organisms: Plants are well-known for their ability to perform photosynthesis due to their chlorophyll content. Animals and fungi lack chlorophyll and do not perform photosynthesis.

Conclude which organisms can perform photosynthesis: Based on the presence of chlorophyll, plants and certain bacteria are capable of photosynthesis, while animals and fungi are not.
