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 is not a mold; it is a symbiotic combination of fungus and algae or cyanobacteria. It forms a unique organism where the fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis to produce food.
No, lichen is a symbiotic organism formed from a partnership between a fungus and either algae or cyanobacteria. It is not classified as a plant because it does not have roots, leaves, or true stems like plants do.
In some ways, the symbiotic relationship between lichens and algae seems like a mutualism (a relationship in which both organisms benefit). The fungus can obtain photosynthates from the algae or cyanobacterium and the algae or cyanobacterium can grow in a drier environment than it could otherwise tolerate.
Lichen is the organism made of a fungus and either green algae or cyanobacteria living together in a symbiotic relationship. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide nutrients through photosynthesis.
A lichen is a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and either algae or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide nutrients through photosynthesis.
lichens are a combination of a fungus and an algae
No. Lichen is a combination of a fungus and algae in a symbiotic relationship.
Fungus & Algae
Lichen is a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus.
The organism you are referring to is called a lichen. Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either green algae or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria provide energy through photosynthesis.

Lichen is a combination of fungus and algae. It grows on tree trunks.

Yes, lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either an algae or a cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria photosynthesize and provide nutrients for the partnership.
