Which of the following does not produce oxygen as a product of photosynthesis?

  • A.Oak trees
  • B.Purple sulfur bacteria
  • C.Cyanobacteria
  • D.Phytoplankton

Answer: B

Correct answer: Purple sulfur bacteria

Purple sulfur bacteria are anoxygenic photosynthesisers: they use H2S rather than water as the electron donor, so the by-product is elemental sulfur, not oxygen. Oak trees, cyanobacteria and phytoplankton all split water and release O2.
