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
What are the difference between alga and fungus?

Is a lichen made up of a fungus and a fungus like protist that live together?
No, a lichen is actually made up of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium that live together in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. The fungus provides a protected environment and absorbs nutrients, while the alga or cyanobacterium photosynthesizes to produce food for both partners.
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.
Lichen is a symbiotic associated between what two things?
A lichen species is a mixture of one species of fungus and one species of alga so that both species together work as a single organism. Usually the fungus gives the lichen its shape and the alga cells lie spread between the thread-like fungus cells. The alga produce carbohydrates and other organic molecules for both itself and the fungus by means of photosyntesis. The fungus furnishes minerals, humidity and protection for the alga, and exposes the alga for the sun. Both species have usually capability also to grow alone. A lichen multiply usually by buddings that brake off and establishes itself as a new individual.
What are some symbiotic relationships in the tundra biome?
One symbiotic relationship in the tundra is the one between the alga and the fungus. This relationship is known as lichen. The alga is protected by the fungus and the fungus receives food from the alga.
Fungus is supported by alga because the alga can?
mainly because the alga can live in a moist environment ?

Why is Lichen an example of Mutualism?
Lichen is an example of Mutualism because it consists of a fungus and an alga growing together. the fungus provides support in which the alga can grow. The alga makes food by photosynthesis using the water that the fungus has stored. The fungus also takes in minerals to be converted into materials for growth. together the two organisms form a structure that can live on the surfaces of rocks in harsh conditions where other organisms cannot survive.
What is an organism that is composed as both fungus and alga?
Lichens
What is the relationship between fungus and alga?
symbiotic(as in lichen)
What organism is composed of both a fungus and an alga?
It's a Lichen
What fungus and alga that live as a single organisms are called?
Lichen
Cyanobacteria or alga living in tissues of fungus is an example of what?
symbiosis
What are the difference between alga and fungus?
hello I'm bob
An organism composed of a fungus and an alga growing is a?
lichen
Where can you find symbiosis?
Lichens are made up of alga and fungus, living together while doing no harm to one or the other.
