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.
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.

Is a lichen a plant?
No, lichen is a composite organism of symbiotic fungi with alga or cyanobacteria (single cell plants).
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.

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.
Facts about lichen?
They are composite organisms of fungus and algae
What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus or either algae or autotrophic bacteria?
LichensA lichen (LIE kuhn) is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow together. The alga actually lives inside the protective walls of the fungus. The resulting organism is different from either organism growing alone. The lichen is a result of a mutualistic relationship. But the merging of the two organisms to form a lichen is so complete that scientists give lichens their own scientific names.Shortened answer: Lichen
A lichen is composed of two distinct organisms living together that behave like a single organism True or False?
That is true
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
What is the plural form of the word 'lichen'?
The plural of "lichen" is "lichens." It's deceptively easy. :-)
Why is Lichen an example of Mutualism?
Lichen is an example of Mutualism because it consists of a fungus and an alga growing together. the fungus provides support in which the alga can grow. The alga makes food by photosynthesis using the water that the fungus has stored. The fungus also takes in minerals to be converted into materials for growth. together the two organisms form a structure that can live on the surfaces of rocks in harsh conditions where other organisms cannot survive.

What organisms make up lichen in a tundra biome?
