hello I'm bob
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.
answer it
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
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.
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.
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.
symbiotic(as in lichen)
mainly because the alga can live in a moist environment ?
Symbiosis. Sometimes it is a mutualism; sometimes it is a parasitism.
Lichens do not belong to a specific phylum. They are a symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga or a cyanobacterium. The fungus belongs to the phylum Ascomycota, while the alga or cyanobacterium can belong to various phyla.
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.

Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. The algae are the autotrophic component of this partnership. Green algae and cyanobacterium are types of algae commonly found in lichen.
