Answer:

Since the ancestors of modern day cyanobacteria added oxygen to the primitive reducing atmosphere of earth.

Explanation:

The primitive atmosphere of the earth did not have oxygen. So, life was not possible on land. The ancestors of modern-day cyanobacteria had the ability to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis which in turn releases oxygen as a by-product. Hence, these ancestors of modern-day cyanobacteria populated the land and added oxygen to the atmosphere of the earth.  

Once enough oxygen was added to support the other life forms, aquatic life forms gradually started occupying the land habitats.

Examples of matter and not
OleMash [197]
Well matter is basically any substance that has mass and takes up space. Example, you have a ball, or a table, or anything really. That is mass. But anything that doesn't take up space or has mass isn't matter. So, anything that doesn't have a mass or take up space is not matter. Hope this helped you understand. :D
