1. Oxygen

2. Combustion

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria are known as the first photosynthetic organism on Earth. They used H2O instead of H2S to fix carbon dioxide into energy-rich molecules such as glucose. The process, therefore, produced a tremendous amount of oxygen (99% of total oxygen), which was then released from oceans to Earth's atmosphere.

We know that oxygen is an oxidizer that helps in burning (combustion). When the oxygen started accumulating in the atmosphere, oxidation of many compounds started occurring, e.g. iron oxidation. Water was already available at that time. Photosynthesis also existed because cyanobacteria produced oxygen through photosynthesis. Thus the presence of oxygen didn't influence photosynthesis. In fact, the presence of oxygen, due to oxidation processes, leads to the formation of complex life processes that we see today. Previously, earth atmosphere was mostly reduced because of very limited availability of other oxidizers.

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.

the generally accepted parts of modern cell theory include: all known living things are made up of one or more cells. all living cells arise from pre-existing cells by division. the cell is the fundamental unit of structure and function in all living organisms.
