Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between cyanobacteria and fungi. The fungi provide a protective structure for the cyanobacteria and absorb moisture and nutrients from the environment, while the cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis and produce energy-rich compounds for both partners. The partnership allows lichens to thrive in diverse habitats, ranging from deserts to polar regions.

What is a association between a fungus and a cyanobacteria or green algae is a?
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
Is the thistle a angiosperm?
A lichen is not an angiosperm because it is not flowering plant. It is a symbiotic relationship between fungi, algae or cyanobacteria.
Is a liverwort an gymnosperm?
no... a lichen is a simbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria while a gymnosperm is a seed producing tree (usually a cone-barring tree).
Is a mushroom a lichen?
no, a mushroom is not a lichen. Mushrooms are mushrooms and lichens are symbiotic relationship of algae/cyanobacteria residing inside a fungi.
Is lichen a vascular plant?
Actually, although lichen looks like a plant, it is actually mainly a fungus. It is a specialized fungus with either some cyanobacteria or unicellular algae living inside it, producing food. Really, its a symbiotic relationship.

A lichen is a composite organism made up of a fungus and an autotroph. Lichens are commonly used in making dyes and perfumes.
Is a mushroom a lichen?

An orginism made of fungus and green algae or cyanobacteria?
The organism you are referring to is called a lichen. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either green algae or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide energy through photosynthesis.
What domain does Lichen belong to?
Lichen belongs to the domain Eukarya, as they are complex organisms made up of both fungi and algae or cyanobacteria living in a symbiotic relationship.
What is a combination of algae and fungus called?
An algae and a fungus can form a symbiotic relationship into what is known as lichen. However, not all lichen contain a type of algae, a type of cyanobacteria and a fungus makes a lichen as well. Algae and Fungus (a.k.a.Lichen) associations may be considered as examples of mutualism, commensalism or even parasitism, depending on the species.
Is a lichen a combine with another organism?
Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant.
What symbiotic relationship is lichen (fungus and algae)?
Lichen is a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus.
Is a lichen a plant?
No, lichen is a composite organism of symbiotic fungi with alga or cyanobacteria (single cell plants).
