Answer: B. Heartwood does not conduct water; sapwood is active in fluid transport.

Heartwood is a wood that is found in the center of the wood whereas, the sapwood is found at the periphery. The color of the heartwood is dark because it accumulates the nutrients, water and minerals in it but does not allow the transport of these substances to the overall tree or plant. The sapwood is active in distribution of these substances to the overall tree and plants. Therefore, is lighter in color.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria were the first photosynthetic autotrophs that used water molecules as the source of electrons. Cyanobacteria were the first autotrophs that performed oxygenic photosynthesis and carried out the splitting of water.  

The process of splitting water released oxygen as a gas (O2) which was released in the atmosphere of the earth as a by-product. This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere. Some cyanobacteria can fix nitrogen and have specialized cells called heterocyst which serve as the site for nitrogen fixation.
