Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between algae (or cyanobacteria) and fungi. In this partnership, the algae provide photosynthetic nutrients, converting sunlight into energy, while the fungi offer a protective structure and access to moisture and minerals from the environment. This mutualistic relationship allows both organisms to thrive in harsh conditions, where neither could survive alone. The unique combination of their capabilities enables lichens to colonize diverse habitats, from rocks to tree bark.
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
A lichen is not an angiosperm because it is not flowering plant. It is a symbiotic relationship between fungi, algae or cyanobacteria.
The organism that results from a close association between single-cell algae and fungi is called a lichen. Lichens are symbiotic organisms where the fungi provide structure and support while the algae photosynthesize and provide nutrients.
no, a mushroom is not a lichen. Mushrooms are mushrooms and lichens are symbiotic relationship of algae/cyanobacteria residing inside a fungi.
No, a lichen is not seen in athlete's foot. Athlete's foot is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, while lichens are symbiotic organisms formed from a relationship between fungi and algae or cyanobacteria.
Lichen is a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus.
It is called a lichen.
Lichen is a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. The algae are the autotrophic component of this partnership. Green algae and cyanobacterium are types of algae commonly found in lichen.
A lichen is a composite organism made up of a fungus and an autotroph. Lichens are commonly used in making dyes and perfumes.

No. Lichen is a combination of a fungus and algae in a symbiotic relationship.
A symbiotic relationship between a fungus and green algae or cyanobacterium is a lichen. This occurs because lichen are composite organisms that consist of a symbiotic association to a fungus with a photosynthetic partner. In this example the photosynthetic partner is the cyanobacteria.
An algae and a fungus can form a symbiotic relationship into what is known as lichen. However, not all lichen contain a type of algae, a type of cyanobacteria and a fungus makes a lichen as well. Algae and Fungus (a.k.a.Lichen) associations may be considered as examples of mutualism, commensalism or even parasitism, depending on the species.

One relationship is the lichen- a fungi hosting an algae inside of it.
Lichen are a symbiotic union between algae and fungus. The algae provides sugar through photosynthesis and the fungus provides structure and absorbs other nutrients from the substrate.
