The algae most commonly found in lichens typically belong to the phylum Chlorophyta, which includes green algae. In some cases, cyanobacteria, which are not true algae but rather photosynthetic bacteria, can also be present in lichens. These photosynthetic partners are crucial for the lichen's ability to produce food through photosynthesis, contributing to the symbiotic relationship with fungal partners.

Fire Algae are in Phylum Pyrrophyta :)

Phylum Chlorophyta
Blue-green algae belong to the Kingdom Bacteria, specifically in the phylum Cyanobacteria.
No, lichens are not archaea. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and either algae or cyanobacteria. Archaea are a separate domain of single-celled microorganisms that have a different genetic makeup and are not involved in the formation of lichens.
The largest algae belong to the phylum Phaeophyta, also known as brown algae. Brown algae include seaweeds such as kelp, which can grow to be quite large in size.
The two phylum that principally contain macroscopic algae are Rhodophyta (red algae) and Phaeophyta (brown algae). These algae are commonly found in marine environments and can form large, visible structures like kelp forests.
Kelp belongs to the phylum Phaeophyta, which consists of brown algae.
The phylum for diatoms is Bacillariophyta. Diatoms are a type of algae that belong to this phylum and are characterized by their unique silica cell walls.
AP Bio take home test, huh? Taking it as we speak. Answer is B. Cholorphytes (unless your teacher scrambled the answers or mine did then it would be a different letter, but the answer is chlorophytes).
