They are photosynthetic and aquatic, cyanobacteria are often called "blue-green algae". This name is convenient for talking about organisms in the water that make their own food, but does not reflect any relationship between the cyanobacteria and algae. Cyanobacteria are relatives of the bacteria, not eukaryotes, and it is only the chloroplast in eukaryotic algae to which the cyanobacteria are related.
SO, BLUE-GREEN ALGAE IS ACTUALLY NOT AN ALGAE.

Blue-green algae are bacterial cells rather than plant cells. Like algae cells, they contain chlorophyll, but they also contain phycocyanin. They do not have a nucleus, chloroplasts, or mitochondria.

prokaryotic cells and plant cells have cellular partitions; animal cells do not - some prokaryotic cells (jointly with cyanobacteria and crimson-sulfur bacteria) can undergo photosynthesis; all plant cells can undergo photosynthesis, animal cells can't - plant cells have chloroplasts; animal cells and prokaryotic cells do not (to accomplish photosynthesis, prokaryotes use photosynthetic enzymes that stay in folded areas of their plasma membrane) - animal cells have lysosomes; plant cells do not; prokaryotic cells do not - animal cells have centrosomes with centrioles; plant cells do not - animal cells and prokaryotic cells could have flagella, yet plant cells do not - purely the sperm of plant cells could have flagella - prokaryotic cells haven't any membrane-certain organelles recent in eukaryotic plant or animal cells, which comprise: chloroplasts, golgi equipment, mitochondria, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum - prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus, fairly, their DNA is centred in a community of the cellular called the "nucleoid"; eukaryotic plant and animal cells have a nicely-defined nucleus surrounded by making use of a double membrane called the nuclear envelope
