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).

Is it true that Lichen is the result of a mutual relationship between a fungus and an algae or cyanobacteria?

Yes, lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and either an algae or a cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection, while the algae or cyanobacteria photosynthesize and provide nutrients for the partnership.


How are lichens an example of a sybiotic relationship?

Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungus and algae or cyanobacteria. The fungus provides structure and protection for the algae, while the algae photosynthesizes and provides nutrients for the fungus. Together, they form a unique organism with characteristics different from either partner alone.


How do fungus and alga depend on each other for survival?

Fungus and algae have a mutualistic relationship in lichens, where the fungus provides structure and protection while the algae photosynthesize and provide nutrients. The fungus also aids in water absorption and mineral uptake for the algae. This symbiotic relationship allows both organisms to thrive in a variety of environments.
