I’ll give you a short overview of what I know.
He was a scientist, biologist, and wrote many books. He was specifically known for creating the science of genetics.
Mendel was born in 1822 into a poor farming family and then died January of 1884. He was an Austrian monk who discovered the basic principles of hereditary through experiments in his very own garden!
I’m sorry. I don’t believe this defines him. You can’t really define anyone in this short of a paragraph. To really know him, I’d have to do deeper research.
As for now, I hope this helps out. This probably just scratches the surface of who he really was. Have a great night!
All my best,

Every general-chemistry student learns of Robert Boyle (1627–1691) as the person who discovered that the volume of a gas decreases with increasing pressure and vice versa—the famous Boyle's law. A leading scientist and intellectual of his day, he was a great proponent of the experimental method.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts
Answer:
E. are found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria AND are used to protect nitrogenase.
Explanation:
Heterocysts are specialized cellular compartments found in nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria. They provide the ideal anaerobic environment for nitrogen fixation since nitrogenase enzyme cant work in presence of oxygen. Hence, in a cyanobacteria both the oxygen requiring photosynthesis process and the oxygen sensitive nitrogen fixation process takes place simultaneously.
Heterocysts have an additional cell wall made of glycolipid that provides a hydrophobic barrier to oxygen. They are involved in production of nitrogenase and other proteins that are required for nitrogen fixation. They also degrade photosystem II which is responsible for producing oxygen and produce proteins which remove any remaining oxygen.
