Why do cyanobacteria possess heterocysts? View Available Hint(s) for Part A Heterocysts shield the organism's nitrogen fixation enzymes from oxygen. Heterocysts serve as a primitive nucleus in these bacteria. Heterocysts are reproductive structures similar to endospores in other bacteria. Bacterial photosynthetic pigments are located in heterocysts.
