they form lichens
some fungi and algae combine to form lichens[li kenz]
Lichens are organisms that exemplify a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi. The fungi provide structure and protection, while the algae provide nutrients through photosynthesis. Together, they form a unique and cohesive organism that can survive in diverse environments.
Yes, algae can form symbiotic relationships with fungi on the ground, known as lichens. In lichens, the algae provide nutrients through photosynthesis, while the fungi provide support and protection. This mutualistic relationship allows lichens to thrive in harsh environments.
It's one of these four: heterotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi heterotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi autotrophic algae and autotrophic fungi autotrophic bacteria and heterotrophic fungi But I'm mot sure which.
neither. algae, bacteria and fungi are all separate groups of classification
Algae is autotrophic while fungi is not. Therefore fungi does not make food by itself as does algae.
Fungi and algae live together as lichens. This is a symbiotic partnership where the fungi supply water and mineral nutrients and the algae sugar, oxygen and fixed nitrogen. Lichens are critical to early soil development. They are often found on rocks and trees and lichens may grow in combination with mosses which are also found in these locations. as moss found on rocks and trees
No, Algae is a completely different thing than Fungi
no but algae can form after a while yes algae would grow and it is a type of mold/fungi!!
Algae provide photosynthetic products like sugars to fungi, while fungi provide nutrients and protection to algae. This mutualistic relationship is known as a lichen, where the algae live inside the fungal structure. Together, they can survive in harsh environments such as bare rock surfaces.
The association between algae and fungi in lichens exemplifies the concept of mutualism, where different species cooperate for mutual benefit. Algae conduct photosynthesis, providing carbohydrates for the fungi, while fungi offer protection and access to nutrients for the algae. This relationship highlights the importance of collaboration in ecosystems, demonstrating how diverse organisms can thrive together and enhance resilience in their environments. Such associations can inspire human approaches to sustainability and cooperation in addressing ecological challenges.
yeast, mushrooms, and bread mold are fungi. but algae isn't;algae is a plant.
