Organic acids


Fernsfungi and lichens reproduce by what?

Ferns, fungi, and lichens reproduce by shedding spores. If a spore lands in a warm area with plenty of moisture and shade it will eventually split and form male and female parts.


Does a lichen use seeds?

No, lichens do not use seeds for reproduction. Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi and algae (or cyanobacteria), and they reproduce primarily through spores produced by the fungal component. Some lichens can also reproduce asexually through structures called soredia or isidia, which can disperse and grow into new lichen organisms.


Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing?

Lichens and mosses erode rocks by producing acids. These acids lead to the deterioration of rocks, such as limestone and marble.


How do plants without seed's reproduce this is in science?

Plants may also reproduce from tubers or bulbs, or by rooting of branches, (called layering, such as blackberry). Some such as lichens can reproduce from broken-off bits.


Are lichens non-flowering?

Yes, lichens are non-flowering. They are a unique symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria, and they reproduce through spores or fragmentation, not through flowers and seeds like flowering plants.


How is a lichen different from most other plants?

Lichen is a mixture of algae / cyanobacteria and fungi. Lichens may look like plants but they do not reproduce with flowers. Lichens do not have roots like plants. They grow on plants as a substrate not as a parasite.


What Lichens and mosses a species of?

Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria. Mosses, on the other hand, are non-vascular plants that reproduce via spores. Both lichens and mosses are important components of many ecosystems, playing roles in soil formation, nutrient cycling, and providing habitat for other organisms.


Do lichens reproduce?

Many lichens reproduce asexually, either by vegetative reproduction or through the dispersal of diaspores containing algal and fungal cells. Soredia (singular soredium) are small groups of algal cells surrounded by fungal filaments that form in structures called soralia, from which the soredia can be dispersed by wind. Another form of diaspore are isidia, elongated outgrowths from the thallus that break off for mechanical dispersal. Fruticose lichens in particular can easily fragment. Due to the relative lack of differentiation in the thallus, the line between diaspore formation and vegetative reproduction is often blurred. Many lichens break up into fragments when they dry, dispersing themselves by wind action, to resume growth when moisture returns.Many lichen fungi appear to reproduce sexually in a manner typical of fungi, producing spores that are presumably the result of sexual fusion and meiosis. Following dispersal, such fungal spores must meet with a compatible algal partner before a functional lichen can form. This may be a common form of reproduction in basidiolichens, which form fruitbodies resembling their nonlichenized relatives. Among the ascolichens, spores are produced in spore-producing bodies, the three most common spore body types are the apothecia, perithecia and the pycnidia.
