How is the association between algae and fungi beneficial to each other?
In lichens, the alga prepares food by photosynthesis and feeds the fungus, while the fungus absorbs water from the plant on which it is growing and protects the alga from the environment, hence both take benefit out of each other
Is algae fungus like?
no fungi grows on you and alge grows in the water Actually, I disagree with the above answer, so I'm improving. They do have similarities. Both fungi and algae prefer to live in moist environments. Both can range in size from a single-celled organism to much larger, multi-celled organisms. Both have haploid nuclei (only one chromosome instead of two).
When umbrella ants and fungi help each other?
When ants eat the fungi, it allows the fungi to grow again. This means the ant will always have a food source and fungi will have everlasting life.
How are fungus and lichen different from each other?
Both lichen and mycorrhizae are symbiotic partnerships between two different living things. Lichens are partnerships between fungi and different types of algae. The fungi partner supplies the water and nutrients and the algal partner produces sugar, oxygen and can fix nitrogen. The photosynthetic partner algae may be a bacteria such as cyanobacteria or blue green algae, or a plant such as green algae. They are usually classed as members of the fungi kingdom. Mycorrhizae are the fungus root partnership that develops in almost all plants both vascular and non vascular. It refers to the mycorrhizal fungus and the plant root once they have linked. There are about 5 or 6 thousand known types of mycorrhizal fungi which form fungus root or mycorrhizae with 95% of all plants. Some mycorrhizal fungi include ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) and Phycobionts (Chlorophyceae ond myxophyceae).

What is symbiotic behavior?
The behavior in which both the organisms get benifit from eachothers... The example of symbiotic behavior is "LICHENS" in which both algae n fungi get benifits from each others... algae gives food to the fungi n fungi provide them protections against the drastic environment.........
What organisms make up a lichen?
A lichen is 2 or more organisms that have formed a symbiotic relationship, so they depend on each other for survival. Lichens are usually made up of a fungi, could be any kind of fungi and an algae or cyanobacterium.
What two organisms form a lichen?
Lichens are composed of a fungus in symbiotic union with an alga and having a greenish, gray, yellow, brown, or blackish thallus that grows in leaf like, crust like, or branching forms on rocks, trees, etc.
Do all cells have cell walls?
All cells have a cell membrane that keeps each cell separate from each other. Most bacteria, algae, fungi and plants have cell walls. The cells that are in animals and humans do not have a cell wall.
Name two examples of an illustrates mutualism?
1. Birds and plants: plants provide birds with food and birds disperse the plant seeds 2. Birds and large mammals (elephants/rhinos): large mammals attract parasites that birds can use as food - birds benefit by having a ready source of food on the mammals and the mammals benefit by having the parasites removed by the birds
