How did cyanobacteria prepare the way for the origin of aerobic respiration?

The evolution of aerobic organisms depended on a metabolic product of cyanobacteria because they used them as a energy source and supply to maintain their health.


What unique ability was originated with cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to perform oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that uses sunlight to produce oxygen as a byproduct. This ability ultimately led to the increase of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, paving the way for the development of aerobic life forms.

Describe the significance of cyanobacteria in the formation of earth's atmosphere?

cyanobacteria also called blue-green algae is thought to be one of the first ever photosynthetic organism...prior to the evolution of photosynthetic organisms theoxygen percentage of the atmosphere was 0% and as we all know without oxygen (O2), ozone(O3) cannot form, and without ozone there can be no atmosphere. Photosynthetic organisms allowed for the formation of oxygen and brought oxygen levels to the percentage it is today (20% a significant increase from 0%) as a result ozone was able to form and ultimately the atmosphere emerged.


What are simplest organisms?

Prokaryotes, like bacteria and cyanobacteria.
