Which of the following statements is NOT applicable in the case of photosynthesis?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. It occurs only in colourless anaerobic bacteria.

The statement "It occurs only in colourless anaerobic bacteria" is not applicable in the case of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis mainly occurs in green plants, algae, and certain bacteria that contain pigments like chlorophyll. While some photosynthetic bacteria exist, photosynthesis is not limited to colourless anaerobic bacteria. In fact, most photosynthesis takes place in chlorophyll-containing organisms exposed to light. This process involves several pigments, releases oxygen, and converts light energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates like glucose.
