Following cyanobacteria, the next major group of organisms to evolve were algae. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that can be found in diverse habitats such as oceans, freshwater environments, and even on land. They played a crucial role in shaping Earth's ecosystems and continue to be important in food webs and oxygen production.
cyanobacteria releases oxygen as a byproduct into the atmosphere.
Organisms formerly known as blue-green algae are actually cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are a type of bacteria that can perform photosynthesis like plants, leading to their previous misclassification as algae.
In my opinion, a lichen can be considered a colonial organism. It has many organisms that are specialized to perform specific functions and it is in close association between fungal and algal cells. It meets the requirements for a colonial organism.
it tells about where the organism came from, and everything about the organism.
Most photosynthetic organisms that do not contain chloroplasts are bacteria. Some examples would be green sulfur and non sulfur bacteria which use chlorosomes. Chlorosomes contain light harvesting pigments known as bacteriochlorophylls. Cyanobacteria do not contain chloroplasts but use chlorophyll A and phycobilin photosynthetic pigments.
Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria
lichen
Lichen is the organism made of a fungus and either green algae or cyanobacteria living together in a symbiotic relationship. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide nutrients through photosynthesis.
cyanobacteria
Heterocysts are specialized cells found in cyanobacteria, particularly in filamentous species like Anabaena and Nostoc. These cells are involved in nitrogen fixation, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be utilized by the organism.

Probably ancient cyanobacteria.
Prokaryotic organisms have no nucleus. This includes all bacteria, including the archea and cyanobacteria.
Cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae, are bacteria that photosynthesize but do not have chloroplasts.
