A lichen is between the two biological kingdoms fungi and protista. Therefore it is a cross between being a fungi and a protist. It is a producer that grows without any soil, thus it is often a pioneer species in a primary ecological succession. Also, lichens are one of few producers in the tundra.
Lichens are made up of two or more organisms. One is always a fungus. The other is either a green alga or a cyanobacteria. Some lichens have both green algae and cyanobacteria.
The lichen composed is the element of the DNA type.
A lichen consists of a Fungal component and an algal component .
a fungus and a photosynthetic organism
green alga or a cyanobacterium
alga and fungus
there are 2 components. fungus and algae
A lichen is made up of fungus and green alga or cynobacteria
A lichen is 2 or more organisms that have formed a symbiotic relationship, so they depend on each other for survival. Lichens are usually made up of a fungi, could be any kind of fungi and an algae or cyanobacterium.

Wolf lichen, British soldier lichen, or Christmas lichen. These are a few of many.
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.

Lichen are a composite organism, made up of fungus and a photosynthetic partner. In the cycle of things in life, lichen is a decomposer, but it is also a producer.

Yes, it is a type of dye, made from a specific lichen, that will indicate acid/ base conditions.

moss and fungi
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.
