A high concentration of chlorophyll imbedded in the plasma membrane fold of a newly discovered species of bacteria suggests a: A. Chemolithoautotrophic metabolism B. Chemoheterotrophic metabolism C. Photoautotrophic metabolism D. Photoheterotrophic metabolism

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. Photoautotrophic metabolism

Explanation:

Chlorophyll helps in the photosynthesis process and it is main site where photosynthesis is happening. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll capture sunlight energy and transform Carbondioxide into glucose , which is the main energy source for an organism. So if the chlorophyll is present in a bacteria, it means it is going through photoautotropic metabolism.
