<h2>Cyanobacteria </h2>

Explanation:

Simple cyanobacteria (single-celled organisms that can produce oxygen through photosynthesis) played a key role in providing Earth’s atmosphere and oceans with oxygen

Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the only bacteria that contain chlorophyll A, a chemical required for oxygenic photosynthesis, the process which uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose (sugars) for energy

In this process chlorophyll A helps in capturing the energy from sunlight

In addition to chlorophyll A, blue-green algae also contain the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, which give the bacteria their bluish tint    

All the above characteristics of cyanobacteria can be used as a source of renewable energy by converting sunlight into electricity

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>
