Green plats, green algae and cyanobacteria derive electrons from?

H2O

If O2 is formed during photosynthesis (plants and cyanobac) the proces is called:

Oxygenic photosynthesis

When there is no O2 forming during photosynthesis as is for example wih green and purple bacteria the proces is:

Anoxygenic photosynthesis

Chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll contain what nutriënt in the middle of the molecle ring structure?

Magnesium (Mg)

Why is a chlorophyll green?

Becaus it absoprs red and blue light and it reflects green light

In anoxic green sulfur bacteria there is an molecule that functions as an antenna and captures low light, what is this organelle called?

Chlorosome
