Answer 1

Dear student,
Like all photosynthetic plants, prominent gas vacuoles are also present in photosynthetic cyanobacteria like blue green, purple and green photosynthetic bacteria. This prominent gas vacuole is important to the photosynthetic bacteria as it works as a water storage. Gas vacuoles provide the bacteria a supply of water which is essential to perform photosynthesis.
