Why do algae and fungi have their own kingdoms?
Algae and fungi posses characteristics that make them unique among all the organisms. Algae are different from plants because they perform cell division in a very different way, their reproductive structures are completely nude, while in plants the reproductive structures are covered with a sterile layer of cells. Fungi lack photosynthetic machinery, which differences them from algae, plants and some bacteria. So, fungi and algae posses a wide range of characteristics that are enough to separate them from other kingdoms and have their own.
What organisms make chitin?
Fungi eg. mushrooms
How do algae and fungus help lichen survive?
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.
What characteristic do algae algae share?
They are AUTOTROPHS (make their own food).
Does fungi make food through photosynthesis?
No, fungi do not make food through photosynthesis. Unlike plants, fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing organic matter from their environment or by forming symbiotic relationships with other organisms.
What is the relationship between a lichens fungi and algae?
Algae performs photosynthesis to make food for both of them. Fungi absorbs nutrients for both of them. mutualism (both benefit).
What are the differences between algae and fungi?
Algae is autotrophic while fungi is not. Therefore fungi does not make food by itself as does algae.
What organism make carbohydrates in lichens?
Algae make carbohydrates in Lichens as. algae can photosynthesize among the two i.e. algae and fungi.
What organisms make up a lichen?
A lichen is 2 or more organisms that have formed a symbiotic relationship, so they depend on each other for survival. Lichens are usually made up of a fungi, could be any kind of fungi and an algae or 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 organisms make chitin?
Fungi eg. mushrooms
Can fungi move place to place?
Fungi as a whole cannot move from place to place like animals do. However, some fungi can spread and colonize new areas by producing spores that can be carried by wind, water, or animals. Additionally, fungal mycelium, the root-like structure of fungi, can grow and spread to new areas as resources become available.
How do algae and fungus help lichen survive?
The algal partner of lichen is known as phycobiont while the fungal partner is known as mycobiont. While the phycobiont provides food to the mycobiont, the mycobiont provides protection to the phycobiont.

Which scenario describes a mutually beneficial relationship with fungi in an ecosystem?
A. Fungus growing inside an anthill B. Fungus growing on the leaves of plants C. Fungus used as food for human consumption D. Fungus used to make medications for humans
What two things make up a lichen and what do each do in the relationship?
Lichen are a symbiotic union between algae and fungus. The algae provides sugar through photosynthesis and the fungus provides structure and absorbs other nutrients from the substrate.
