the condition in which one or both species in a mutualistic association are completely dependent on the presence of the other species.
What organism has no chlorophyll?
All animals lack chlorophyll and also several plants like croton or ornamental plants and also fungi and other saprophytes( who depend on dead organic matter for food).
Where on earth are single celled organisms generally found?
Single-celled organisms are found practically everywhere on Earth, including in soil, water bodies like lakes and oceans, hot springs, and even within the bodies of other organisms as parasites or symbionts. Their ability to adapt to a wide range of environments has contributed to their widespread distribution.
Is a lichen a parasite?
Mutualism is a symbioses where both partners (symbionts) gain fitness (+/+). Fitness is the success of reproduction of an organism with 1 = breeding and 0 = not breeding. The symbionts that constitute Lichens are a fungus (mycobiont) and alga (photobiont). The association has allowed the lichen fungi and lichen alga to thrive in areas neither could survive in alone and successfully avoid competition. Specifically the fungus gains energy from the photobiont and the alga gains protection from radiation and desiccation which prevents drying out and may be able to obtain salts from the mycobiont. As both smbionts have gained the relationship is considered to be mutualistic. However, it could be argued that the relationship is controlled parasitic as the photobiont is 'incarcerated' by the mycobiont and not a partner.
What must happen for plants to use nitrogen in the atmosphere?

What are the two examples of symbionts of platyhelminthes?
Not that smart, K?
Why are your gunnera manicata leaves turning red?
They have glands which hold cyanobacteria symbionts and in the glands are water soluble pigments that attract the free symbionts in the soil and are red because of their low pH.
Why the coral reef is so bright and colorful?
Corals host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments.
What function do human intestinal bacterial symbionts serve?
Human intestinal bacterial symbionts play a crucial role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system function, and protection against harmful pathogens. They help break down complex carbohydrates, produce essential vitamins, and promote a healthy balance of gut microflora, contributing to overall health and well-being.
Is a anemone a consumer?
Yes, they are; however, many of them have, inside them, photosynthetic symbionts (zoochlorellae and zooxanthellae), wich are producers.
How do you know if your turtle has salmonella?
Bacteria of genus Salmonella are normal mutualistic symbionts in the intestine of turtles; however you can see it with a fecal colture.
What are the uses of sponge?
sponges has medicinal potential due to the precence of sponges themselves or their microbial symbionts of chemicals that may be used to control viruses bacterial and fungi.
Two mutualistic relationships that fungi form with each other?
1. mycorrhizae-occurs on the roots of almost all vascular plants 2. lichens- forms from those of their symbionts.
What are obligate symbionts?

Where is the niche of the protists?
Protists occupy a wide range of habitats, including freshwater and marine environments, soil, and even inside other organisms as parasites or symbionts. They can be found anywhere there is moisture and organic material to support their diverse lifestyles.
