Why is the ozone layer important for Earth's life forms? The ozone layer is important for Earth's life forms because it protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This made the environment able to support more complex life forms. 2.) Describe the role of cyanobacteria in changing Earth's early atmosphere. Cyanobacteria helped in changing Earth's atmosphere by adding an abundance of oxygen to it. To this day cyanobacteria's account for 20% to 30% of photosynthesis today.
How does ozone protect us? Up in the stratosphere, ozone (O3) acts as a natural sunscreen to protect us against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. That's the stuff that gives us sunburns. Because of the ozone layer, most of the harmful radiation never reaches Earth. But, as more and more of it does, we're at greater risk for skin and eye problems. People living near the Equator should be just as concerned about sun damage as people living where the ozone layer is thinning. The higher the sun is in the sky, the greater the direct sunlight reaching the Earth.
