A cyanobacteria obtains its energy from photosynthesis and bacteria can get energy from almost anything. Bacteria can survive in soil, water, hot springs, waste, and in the Earth's crust and cyanobacteria cannot.

∙ 11y ago1. cyanobacteria are autophytic (prepares food by photosynthesis)..bacteria are saprophytic or parasitic (cannot make its own food, depends on other living organism)
2. cell wall of cyanobacteria made up of cellulose and pectin, cell wall of bacteria made of glycolipids, peptidoglycans
3. chlorophyll present in cyanobacteria, absent in bacteria
4, accessory pigment present in cyanobacteria , but absent in bacteria
5. locomotory organelle (flagella) absent in cyanobacteria, but present in bacteria
6. cyanobacteria- asexual reproduction only (no sexual reproduction), bacteria- both asexual and sexual reproduction
7. same as above.

On the otherhand,proteobacteria has no chlorophil,so it can not produce its own food i.e.heterotroph.It has got flagella so it can move.Stored form of food in proteobacteria is starch.There is no capsular covering outside the cell wall of proteobacteria.

Cyanophytes contain chlorophyll a and are photosynthesiz-
ers. Cyanophytes were the primary producers of oxygen in
the atmosphere.

∙ 13y agocyanobacteria contain chlorophyll which means they can photosynthesize and make their own food
Wiki User
∙ 15y agocyanobacteria are photosynthetic so they are autotrophic. they are able to make their own food source whereas heterotrophic bacteria wouldn't be able to do that.

What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?
cyanobacteria uses sunlight and obtain energy to make there food (otherwise known as photosynthesis), when other bacteria do not obtain the enery of photosynthesis
What is cyanobacteria is now classified as?
Bacteria
What type of bacteria was Anabaena?
anabeana is a cyanobacteria
What waste product does cyanobacteria produce?
photosynthesis
Why is cyanobacteria bacteria not algae?
At one time cyanobacteria were called blue-green algae and were included with the algae. However, like bacteria and unlike algae, cyanobacteria are prokaryotes, meaning that they do not have a nucleus. For this reason they were removed from the algae (which are eukaryotes) and put into the bacteria, with all the other prokaryotes.

How are cyanobacteria different from most bacteria?
Cyanobacteria can undergo photosynthesis.
What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria cannot do?
cyanobacteria uses sunlight and obtain energy to make there food (otherwise known as photosynthesis), when other bacteria do not obtain the enery of photosynthesis
What shape is cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria, like other bacteria, exist in many shapes and sizes. However, three common shapes are observed most frequently in cyanobacteria: spherical, rod and spiral.
Is lactic acid eubacteria cyanobacteria or nitrogen fixing bacteria?
cyanobacteria
What is the Monera Kingdom Bacteria?
eubacteria, cyanobacteria, and I can' t find the other one, ARCHAEBACTERIA
What is cyanobacteria is now classified as?
Bacteria
What kingdom are stromalitic cyanobacteria in?
They are bacteria.
What is the classification of cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria is the phylum of bacteria. Often called blue-green algae, it belongs to the bacteria domain and the eubacteria kingdom.
Is a eukaryote a bacteria plant or protozoa?
All bacteria, including cyanobacteria and archybacteria are prokaryotes. All other types of organisms are eukaryotes.
Why are cyanobacteria considered members of the domain bacteria?
Cyanobacteria is in the Eubacteria kingdom. It is an algae that makes its own food through photosynthesis and is blue-green in color.
What kind of organism is Cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis.
What kingdom does cyanobacteria belongs to?
"Bacteria" refers to a whole domain of organisms, which is a classificational level above kingdom. The domain is called "Bacteria", and it contains several kingdoms of bacteria. Cyanobacteria are their own kingdom, generally called "Cyanobacteria" which is part of Archaebacteria.
