Cyanobacteria utilize the energy of sunlight to drive photosynthesis, a process where the energy of light is used to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. While most of the high-energy electrons derived from water are utilized by the cyanobacterial cells for their own needs, a fraction of these electrons are donated to the external environment via electrogenic activity. Cyanobacterial electrogenic activity is an important microbiological conduit of solar energy into the biosphere.

Do bactera makes their own food?
Not usually. There is a group called cyanobacteria which do. They are also called blue-green algae. But all the others are consumers and do not make their own food.
6 Name the pigment in cyanobacteria?
One of the pigments in Cyanobacteria is Zeaxanthin.
Why does thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria?
Thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts resemble those of cyanobacteria because chloroplasts are believed to have evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. During evolution, the cyanobacteria that were engulfed by a host cell eventually became mutually beneficial, leading to the development of chloroplasts. The structural similarity between the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a remnant of this evolutionary relationship.
Is the cyanobacteria mul ticellular or unicellular?
both! some species are unicellular some are multicellular
What is in the Phylum Cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic bacteria.they are able to fix Nitrogen.they produce oxygen as bi-product.
Is Cyanobacteria a consumers or producers?
The cyanobacteria is a consumer
Do bactera makes their own food?
Not usually. There is a group called cyanobacteria which do. They are also called blue-green algae. But all the others are consumers and do not make their own food.
Are zooplankton consumer?
Zooplankton are both primary and secondary consumers. If they eat algae or cyanobacteria they will be primary consumers. If they eat other zooplankton then they would be secondary consumers. Just as people may eat plants thus making them primary or eat meat making them secondary.
How are cyanobacteria different from most bacteria?
Cyanobacteria can undergo photosynthesis.
What is the gram test for cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria refers to a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. The gram test for cyanobacteria is negative.
What does primary consumers?
The food chain goes Producer > Primary > Secondary > Tertiary Primary consumers eat producers, which are organisms that use photosynthesis to produce energy. Do not let people tell you that only plants go through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria and algae do as well. And no, algae is not a plant.
Is lactic acid eubacteria cyanobacteria or nitrogen fixing bacteria?
cyanobacteria
How do you spell cyanobacteria?
That is the correct spelling of "cyanobacteria" (blue-green algae).
6 Name the pigment in cyanobacteria?
One of the pigments in Cyanobacteria is Zeaxanthin.
Biochemical tests for identification of cyanobacteria?
Biochemical tests for identification of cyanobacteria
What does primary consumers eat?
The food chain goes Producer > Primary > Secondary > Tertiary Primary consumers eat producers, which are organisms that use photosynthesis to produce energy. Do not let people tell you that only plants go through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria and algae do as well. And no, algae is not a plant.
What is a sentence for the word cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria is one of the many bacterium that can carry out photosynthesis.
