Definitionally speaking, if something is a plant, it cannot have a fungal component since fungi are not plants.
However, a lichen is often considered by laymen to be a plant (even though it is actually a symbiotic relationship of two or more organisms). A lichen is the most common example of algae and fungi working together.
Yes, both fungi and algae can consist of single cells. Unicellular fungi include yeasts, which are single-celled organisms that play essential roles in fermentation and decomposition. Algae can also be unicellular, with examples like diatoms and chlorella, but they can also exist in multicellular forms, such as seaweeds. Thus, both groups have representatives that are single-celled.
no fungi grows on you and alge grows in the water Actually, I disagree with the above answer, so I'm improving. They do have similarities. Both fungi and algae prefer to live in moist environments. Both can range in size from a single-celled organism to much larger, multi-celled organisms. Both have haploid nuclei (only one chromosome instead of two).
neither. algae, bacteria and fungi are all separate groups of classification
I'm not sure about algae, but some fungi can become multicellular through budding
The symbiotic relationship between fungi and blue-green algae is called lichen. In this relationship, the fungi provide a protective shelter for the algae, while the algae produce food through photosynthesis that benefits both organisms. This mutualistic partnership allows lichens to thrive in a variety of environments.

Algae performs photosynthesis to make food for both of them. Fungi absorbs nutrients for both of them. mutualism (both benefit).

Fungi are heterotrophic organisms- they can't synthesize their own food. Algae do perform photosynthesis thus making them autotrophic. Fungi and algae are not animals.
well algea is a nippy and yeast is a whippey
No, lichen is a composite organism of symbiotic fungi with alga or cyanobacteria (single cell plants).
The symbiotic relationship between fungi and blue-green algae is called lichen. In this relationship, the fungi provide a protective shelter for the algae, while the algae produce food through photosynthesis that benefits both organisms. This mutualistic partnership allows lichens to thrive in a variety of environments.
The Fungi kingdom includes multicellular heterotrophic organisms.
A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyan bacteria. Symbiotic means any two life form that can only exist with the two life forms are together. There are many examples of this in the plant world, where a plant only have one pollinator and the pollinator only feeds on that plant. Like all fungi, lichen fungi require carbon as a food source; this is provided by their symbiotic algae and/or cyan bacteria, that are photosynthetic. The lichen symbiosis is thought to be a mutualism, since both the fungi and the photosynthetic partners, called photobionts, benefit.
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that have diverse metabolic capabilities, and algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Fungi reproduce through spores, bacteria through binary fission, and algae through both sexual and asexual reproduction.
