The photosynthetic symbiont provides organic food to both itself and the fungal symbiont.
Algae provide the lichen with food that the algae produces. The lichen provides shelter, water and minerals for the algae.
a lichen is a decomposer
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.
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.
Fungai
Fungal hyphae is the member of a lichen that provides inorganic food. Lichens are composed of a fungus and either a cyanobacterium gorwin or aga in intimate association.
The photosynthetic symbiont provides organic food to both itself and the fungal symbiont.
Algae provide the lichen with food that the algae produces. The lichen provides shelter, water and minerals for the algae.
The two parts of the lichen help each other by making it so that the algal part of a lichen provides food while the phycobiont provides protection.
a lichen is a decomposer
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.
Give oxygen to the air
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.

A lichen is a hybrid of a fungus and an algae. In the arctic the lichen must be exceptionally sturdy. The algae providing the food through photosynthesis and the fungus extracts available water to forma symbiotic relationship.
Some of the food at the restaurant tasted stale and inorganic. Lettuce is organic, but rocks are inorganic.
