How are cyanobacteria different from other bacteria?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

1. 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.

Answer 3

Cyanobacteria has got chlorophil,so it can produce its own food i.e.autotroph.It has no flagella so it can not move.Stored form of food in cyanobactertia is glycogen.There is a capsular covering outside the cell wall of cyanobacteria. 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.

Answer 4

Cyanophytes do not have any organelle structures.

Cyanophytes contain chlorophyll a and are photosynthesiz-

ers. Cyanophytes were the primary producers of oxygen in

the atmosphere.

Answer 5

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that can produce oxygen through photosynthesis, unlike many other bacteria. They also contain chlorophyll and phycobilins, pigments that allow them to capture light for energy production. Additionally, cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere, making them important in nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems.

Answer 6

cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll which means they can photosynthesize and make their own food

Answer 7

cyanobacteria 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.

Answer 8

Cyanobacteria use sunlight for energy, and bacteria do not use sunlight for energy. Cyanobacteria are have photosynthetic pigments, which bacteria do not have.
