How is the association between algae and fungi beneficial to each other?
In lichens, the alga prepares food by photosynthesis and feeds the fungus, while the fungus absorbs water from the plant on which it is growing and protects the alga from the environment, hence both take benefit out of each other
Is algae fungus like?
no fungi grows on you and alge grows in the water Actually, I disagree with the above answer, so I'm improving. They do have similarities. Both fungi and algae prefer to live in moist environments. Both can range in size from a single-celled organism to much larger, multi-celled organisms. Both have haploid nuclei (only one chromosome instead of two).
When algae lives on a sloth it is considered a mutual symbiotic relationship why is this an example of mutualsim?
The relationship between algae and sloths is an example of mutualism because both organisms benefit from each other. The algae gain a habitat on the sloth's fur, where they receive sunlight for photosynthesis, while the sloth benefits from the algae by gaining camouflage in the forest canopy and potential nutrients when it consumes the algae. This interaction enhances the survival of both species, illustrating the cooperative nature of mutualism.
How are fungus and lichen different from each other?
Both lichen and mycorrhizae are symbiotic partnerships between two different living things. Lichens are partnerships between fungi and different types of algae. The fungi partner supplies the water and nutrients and the algal partner produces sugar, oxygen and can fix nitrogen. The photosynthetic partner algae may be a bacteria such as cyanobacteria or blue green algae, or a plant such as green algae. They are usually classed as members of the fungi kingdom. Mycorrhizae are the fungus root partnership that develops in almost all plants both vascular and non vascular. It refers to the mycorrhizal fungus and the plant root once they have linked. There are about 5 or 6 thousand known types of mycorrhizal fungi which form fungus root or mycorrhizae with 95% of all plants. Some mycorrhizal fungi include ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes) and Phycobionts (Chlorophyceae ond myxophyceae).
Name three main groups within the kingdom protista. What characteristics distinguish each group from the other two?
Algae-plant like Fungi- slime mole and water mold Protozoa-1st animal like .... Classified by means of locomotion!
How do other organism depend on each other and their environment?
The living organisms depend on each other for their food & shelter. EG: Fungi and algae depend on each other .
How is the association between algae and fungi beneficial to each other?
In lichens, the alga prepares food by photosynthesis and feeds the fungus, while the fungus absorbs water from the plant on which it is growing and protects the alga from the environment, hence both take benefit out of each other
How do fungi bacteria and algae differ from each other?
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that have diverse metabolic capabilities, and algae are photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. Fungi reproduce through spores, bacteria through binary fission, and algae through both sexual and asexual reproduction.

What are the major groups of microorganisms?
Virus, Bacteria, Protozoa, Algae & 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.
Do all cells have cell walls?
All cells have a cell membrane that keeps each cell separate from each other. Most bacteria, algae, fungi and plants have cell walls. The cells that are in animals and humans do not have a cell wall.
Name two examples of an illustrates mutualism?
1. Birds and plants: plants provide birds with food and birds disperse the plant seeds 2. Birds and large mammals (elephants/rhinos): large mammals attract parasites that birds can use as food - birds benefit by having a ready source of food on the mammals and the mammals benefit by having the parasites removed by the birds
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 is symbiotic behavior?
The behavior in which both the organisms get benifit from eachothers... The example of symbiotic behavior is "LICHENS" in which both algae n fungi get benifits from each others... algae gives food to the fungi n fungi provide them protections against the drastic environment.........
What are some ways that algae are different from each other.?
hola
What is a organism made of a fungus and green algae or a cyanobacteria?
lichen
