Fungi are also naturally used as decomposers to keep ecosystems replete with inorganic nutrients necessary for plant growth, such as carbon and nitrogen.

Fungi and plants are dependent on each other for nutrience, and we're dependent on plants for nutrience. So we are thus dependent on fungi as well.

Why fungi and algae both known as unicellular and multicellular?

I'm not sure about algae, but some fungi can become multicellular through budding


What are spme examples of fungi?

some examples are sac fungi club fungi and zygospore fungiMushrooms are fungi, protists (molds or algae).


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.


Is red algae helpful or harmful to humans?

Red algae are generally considered helpful to humans as they are an important source of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Some species of red algae also have medicinal properties and are used in food supplements and pharmaceuticals. However, certain species of red algae can produce toxins that are harmful to humans if consumed in large amounts.


What antibiotics are made from combination of algae and fungi?

Certain antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, are derived from fungi, specifically from the fungal genus Cephalosporium. While algae are not typically used directly to produce antibiotics, some compounds extracted from algae have shown antimicrobial properties. Research is ongoing to explore the potential of combining extracts from algae and fungi to develop new antimicrobial agents, but specific antibiotics resulting from this combination are not widely recognized or established in current medical practice.
