What was first responsible for changing the formerly poisonous atmosphere to an oxygen-rich atmosphere as we have today?
meteor impacts
volcanic gases
earthquakes
photosynethic bacteria (cyanobacteria)

The correct answer is cyanobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria)

The majority of the scientists considers that for about half of the history of the Earth, the atmosphere comprises no oxygen. It was blue-green algae or cyanobacteria, which became the first thing to generate oxygen by the process of photosynthesis, that is, about 2.7 billion years ago.  

Cyanobacteria are the microbes, which thrives mainly in the waters of the sea. They are considered to have been the initial species on Earth to conduct oxygenic photosynthesis. In the process, they generated organic carbon, that is, the building materials of life's molecules, and discharged oxygen gas in the process. The oxygen entered into the seawater, and from there some of it got escaped out into the atmosphere.  

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
