In a lichen what does the algae provide for the fungus?
Algae provide the lichen with food that the algae produces. The lichen provides shelter, water and minerals for the algae.
How do algae and fungus help lichen survive?
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.
Is a lichen in a arctic tundra food chain a consumer?
a lichen is a decomposer
Can fungus be found elsewhere but where organic material is available?
No. Fungus does not make it's own food, the way that green plants do, but relies on food found in organic matter, such as manure, wood, paper, or the skin between your toes (athlete's foot fungus). If there is no organic material, there is no food. While one component of a lichen is a fungus, lichens are in a group all their own.
What is the symbiotic relationship in lichen?
some organisms live together and share shelter and nutrients, this is called symbiotic relationship. in organisms like lichens a chlorophyll- containing partner which is an alga, and a fungus live together. the fungus provides shelter, water and minerals to the alga while in return the alga provides food which it prepares by the process of photosynthesis.
Which member of lichen provides inorganic food?
Fungai
Which member of a lichen provides inorganic food?
Fungal hyphae is the member of a lichen that provides inorganic food. Lichens are composed of a fungus and either a cyanobacterium gorwin or aga in intimate association.
In a lichen what does the algae provide for the fungus?
Algae provide the lichen with food that the algae produces. The lichen provides shelter, water and minerals for the algae.
How do two organisms help each other?
The two parts of the lichen help each other by making it so that the algal part of a lichen provides food while the phycobiont provides protection.
How do algae and fungus help lichen survive?
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.

What are the characteristics of lichens?
A lichen is a symbiotic partnership between a fungus and an alga. The algal partner photosynthesizes to provide food for the fungus, and the fungus in turn provides protection for the alga.

What is the importance of lichen in the environment?
Give oxygen to the air
Why do you have large cell order than small cells?
Chloroplast performs photosynthesis.It provides organic food to plant.

Does organic food not last as long as non organic food?
Unless non-organic food contains preservatives, organic food should last as long as non-organic.
