3.5-3.8 Billion years ago.
But I need this because I have a Science Life test Review and I can't answer {what are photosynthetic micro-organisms?}.
The appearance of photosynthetic organisms
Photosynthetic means that they synthesize their own food from the light of the sun. Therefore, they have to live near the water's surface so that the light can reach them for photosynthesis.
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.
Organisms such as protozoans, bacteria, and plants use photosynthesis to pull in CO2 from the atmosphere, releasing oxygen as a by product of the photosynthetic process.
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
the rise of photosynthetic
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
Unicellular,filamentous and photosynthetic organisms are ALGAE
No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.
The rise of photosynthetic organisms will not ever lead to a decrease in oxygen. The use of these organisms will always lead to an increase.
It would be impossible for oxygen requiring organisms to exist before photosynthetic organisms because there was not oxygen in the atmosphere for these organisms to breathe. Photosynthetic organisms take carbon dioxide and water in and create oxygen as waste. Before these photosynthetic organisms existed there was not enough or any oxygen in the atmosphere for organisms requiring oxygen to survive.

Autotrophs
Why do plants and other photosynthetic organisms need CO2 from the atmosphere?
