What are Cyanobacteria and why are they ecologically important?

They are Gram-negative bacteria; they photosynthesize in the same manner as plants and are believed to be responsible for first introducing oxygen into primitive atmosphere. If care is not taken in disposing of industrial, agricultural, and human wastes, phosphates drain into lakes and ponds resulting in a "bloom" of these organisms. The surface of the water becomes turbid, and light cannot penetrate to lower levels. When a portion of cyanobacteria die off, the decomposing prokaryotes use up the available oxygen, causing fish to die from lack of oxygen

What term is associated with fungi in general?
ecologically important (mastering bio)
Are cyanobacteria consumers?
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.

What are some important contributions that insects make to life cycle?
They are ecologically important as herbivores, and predators.
Fungus are ecologically important because they help to recycle nutrients on earth?
True.
Protista are ecologically important because they provide carbon dioxide for other organisms?
false
What two effects of pigments found in cyanobacteria?
Some have a blue pigment that helps in photosynthesis. This pigment gives those cyanobacteria a blue tint. Other cyanobacteria have red pigment. Flamingos get their pink color by eating red cyanobacteria. or Cyanobacteria lives in water and these bacteria contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important to photosynthesis.
What are the importance of cyanobacteria?
Cyanobacteria are also known as blue or green algae. They are important economically because they provide food and can remove nitrogen from water sources.
Is Cyanobacteria a consumers or producers?
