What else can I help you with?
Does only one organism benefits from a lichen?
No. The alga and the fungus that make up a particular lichen exist in a true symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other. Generally, the fungi absorb water that passes on to the algae to be used in photosynthesis to create a carbohydrate food for both. So both organisms benefit from the relationship.
What is a combination of algae and fungus called?
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.
An organism composed of a fungus and an alga growing is a?
Lichen. Lichens are symbiotic organisms formed by a fungus and either an alga or a cyanobacterium living together in a mutualistic relationship. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the alga or cyanobacterium provide nutrients through photosynthesis.
Is a lichen a plant?
No, lichen is a composite organism of symbiotic fungi with alga or cyanobacteria (single cell plants).
What two organisms form a lichen?
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.
What organisms make up lichen in a tundra biome?
moss and fungi
What domain does Lichen belong to?
Lichen belongs to the domain Eukarya, as they are complex organisms made up of both fungi and algae or cyanobacteria living in a symbiotic relationship.
Facts about lichen?
They are composite organisms of fungus and algae
Is a lichen a scavenger?
Lichen is considered to be a scavenger. They are commonly organisms that contain fungus and usually have a photosynthetic associate that they grow with.
What fungus and alga that live as a single organisms are called?
Lichen
Is a lichen a parasitic?
A lichen is not generally considered to be a parasite.A lichen is composed of two organisms in a symbiotic association. They are a fungus and a photosynthetic partner, usually either a green alga or a cyanobacterium.
In a lichen only one benefits?
No. The alga and the fungus that make up a particular lichen exist in a true symbiotic relationship where neither can exist without the other. Generally, the fungi absorb water that passes on to the algae to be used in photosynthesis to create a carbohydrate food for both. So both organisms benefit from the relationship.
What is a common autotrophic component of a lichen?
Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. The algae are the autotrophic component of this partnership. Green algae and cyanobacterium are types of algae commonly found in lichen.
How can moss and lichen which may grow in the beginning of primary succession potentially make it easier for other organisms to grow and live in the same area later on?

What type of cell make up unicellular organisms?
Eukaryotic cell make up unicellular organisms.
Which organism causes cracks rin rocks changing the environment where other organisms can grow?
Lichen that is your answer!! :))
