Term
-blue-green coloring
-oxygenic (oxygen-producing) photosynthesis; contain chlorophyll
-many fix nitrogen, using cells called heterocysts
-some species grow in water and have gas vacuoles that allow the cells to float
-some are unicellular and divide by binary fission. Other forms are colonies and filamentous forms. -believed to have played a big role in bringing oxygen levels up in our atmosphere and they still add oxygen as well as fix nitrogen |
