Nope. Lichens are composites of fungi and a photosynthetic partner, either an alga or a cyanobacterium.

What is the symbiotic relationship in lichen?

some organisms live together and share shelter and nutrients, this is called symbiotic relationship. in organisms like lichens a chlorophyll- containing partner which is an alga, and a fungus live together. the fungus provides shelter, water and minerals to the alga while in return the alga provides food which it prepares by the process of photosynthesis.


Is lichen a vascular plant?

No, lichen is not a vascular plant. Lichen is a composite organism made up of a fungus and either algae or cyanobacteria. It lacks vascular tissues for transporting water and nutrients like true vascular plants do.


Lichen is a symbiotic associated between what two things?

A lichen species is a mixture of one species of fungus and one species of alga so that both species together work as a single organism. Usually the fungus gives the lichen its shape and the alga cells lie spread between the thread-like fungus cells. The alga produce carbohydrates and other organic molecules for both itself and the fungus by means of photosyntesis. The fungus furnishes minerals, humidity and protection for the alga, and exposes the alga for the sun. Both species have usually capability also to grow alone. A lichen multiply usually by buddings that brake off and establishes itself as a new individual.


Is brown algae a fungus-like protist?

No, brown algae are not fungus-like protists. Brown algae are a type of multicellular, photosynthetic algae that belong to the kingdom Chromista, while fungus-like protists are organisms that display characteristics of both fungi and protists, and belong to the kingdom Protista.


What is a protist species that obtains nutrition by external digestion?

An example of a protist species that obtains nutrition by external digestion is the parasitic protist Plasmodium, which causes malaria in humans. Plasmodium infects red blood cells and digests hemoglobin to obtain nutrients.

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.


Is lichen a plant?

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.

What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus and either algae or autotrophic bacteria?

also known as a symbyotic relationship (where at least on organism in the partnership benefits) it means that the alge gains, say, anchorage, from the fungus, and the fungus gains food or shelter from the alge. they live together as a lichen or moss, and wouldn't survive without oneanother

Is a autotroph in a fungi-like protist?

an autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food. Therefore, and autotroph can be a prokaryote, fungus, protist, plant, or archaea.
