Answer to Question 1

Answer: Cyanobacteria were one of the earliest known life forms on Earth and were responsible for producing oxygen in the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The first oxygen products they produced were removed from the atmosphere by bonding with iron in the ocean, creating the banded iron formations. This process ended approximately 2.5 billion years ago with the Great Oxygenation Event.
