we feel that they survived the mass extinction because they had thermal vents in the ocean floor which provided pockets where some bacteria managed to survive.

1. They show great diversity in form and shape. Some are spherical; some are rod-shaped, while few of them are unicellular or multicellular.

2. Vacuoles are formed in these bacteria.

3. Some forms are covered with sheath.

4. Unicellular forms are non-motile but trichome forms have capability of gliding movement.

5. Flagella are absent.

6. They are found in soil, clean water, and marine environment.

7. Some forms can live symbolically.

8. Some have the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen.

9. Some of them live symbolically with protozoans and such forms of bacteria are called as Cyanellae and diis association is described as Syncyanoses.

10. Nucleus is incipient like prokaryotes and is devoid of nuclear membrane and other membrane.

they can live in a verity of places as long as that place is wet and moist. They are a specialist. They can only live in one habitat. A wet one.

Algae come in a variety of shapes and forms. The simplest form is the single, self-sufficient cell, such as Euglena, dependent only on sunlight and carbon dioxide and minerals from the water.

An important organelle found in eukaryotic algae is the chloroplast, which contains the light-absorbing pigments responsible for capturing the energy in sunlight during photosynthesis.

Like plants, most algae have rigid cell walls composed largely of cellulose. An exception is the diatom, whose cell wall is composed primarily of silica, which provides rigidity and also produces elaborately sculpted patterns of grooves that serve as identifying features.

Some small water/land creatures. Such a snails and hermet crabs.

unlike algae and other plants, they reproduce through fission, they don't have cellulose in their cell walls, their DNA is not associated with histone proteins in their chromosomes. They may be free-living or form symbiotic relationships with plants or lichen-forming fungi as in the lichen genus peltigera.

like plants, Cyanobacteria can manufacture their own food through photosynthesis.

They are found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat- oceans, fresh water, damp soil, temporarily moistened rocks in desserts, bare rock and soil, and even Antarctic rocks. They move by gliding. Over their long evolutionary history, they have formed numerous endosymbiotic and mutualistic associations with microorganisms, higher plants, and animals, including lichens (fungi), ferns, cycads, diatoms, seagrasses, sponges, and even polar bears.

Cyanobacteria, also known as cyanophyta, is a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. These bluish-green bacteria date to 3.5 billion years old. They are the oldest and one of the most largest and most important groups of bacteria.
