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.
How are mushroom and seaweed different?
Seaweeds grow in oceans and seas and it is considered an alga. Mushrooms grow on land and are the fruiting body of a fungus. Mushrooms also grow on things.
What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus or either algae or autotrophic bacteria?
LichensA lichen (LIE kuhn) is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow together. The alga actually lives inside the protective walls of the fungus. The resulting organism is different from either organism growing alone. The lichen is a result of a mutualistic relationship. But the merging of the two organisms to form a lichen is so complete that scientists give lichens their own scientific names.Shortened answer: Lichen
What are some example of symbiolit relationship?
Lichen, a combination of an alga and a fungus. The fungus, although taking food from the alga, protects it from drying out, allowing lichens to grow outside of water. The fungus also breaks down the rocks that the lichen grows on, providing minerals and nutrients to the alga. The bacteria that live inside the gut of termites allows them to eat wood. The bacteria break down the otherwise indigestible wood cellulose into sugars that the termites can digest, and the termites provide a home for the bacteria.
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 lichen mean?
Lichen is a combination of fungus and either alga or bacterium that grows in a symbiotic relationship on trees and rocks. It is known for its ability to grow in diverse harsh environments such as arctic tundra, desert, rocky shore and rain forest climates.
What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus and either algae or autotrophic bacteria?
also known as a symbyotic relationship (where at least on organism in the partnership benefits) it means that the alge gains, say, anchorage, from the fungus, and the fungus gains food or shelter from the alge. they live together as a lichen or moss, and wouldn't survive without oneanother
What helps fungus to grow?
Air and water help fungus grow.
How many organisms are in a lichen?
A lichen is a partnership of an alga and a fungus. These form fixed combinations that are described as lichen species. These have fixed shapes and lifecycles. Makes you wonder, doesn' t it? Not as unusual as you may think either, as it is thought, on the ground of some pretty good arguments, that the cells of any plant and animal started as partnerships of different, bacteria like life forms. In lichens the partnership is looser. The alga and the fungus can be separated and cultured apart. They don't like that, they do a lot better together. Lichens can grow in very difficult places. The individual partners would die there!
Why is fungus not able to grow on plastics?
fungus do not grow in plastic because it does no cotain any moisture :D
What is strigula?
Strigula is a lichen, which is a long-lived form of algae and fungus together. They grow on rocks, tree trucks and branches.
How does fungus get inside of you?
Through microbes you breath in then the microbes settle and grow into fungus
