Is not endogenous. 11 Hydrogen donor During photosynthesis hydrogen donor is not water; as a result oxygen is not evolved. Thus photosynthesis is anoxygenic. Hydrogen donor is water, oxygen is evolved. Process is oxygenic. 12 Locomotory organ Flagella act as locomotory organ. Lack flagella and other locomotory organ. 13 Heterocyst Absent Present. read less
