Why are lichens so unusual?
Lichens are unusual because they are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic partner, usually algae or cyanobacteria. This mutualistic relationship allows lichens to thrive in extreme environments where neither organism could survive alone. Lichens are also capable of producing unique compounds that have potential pharmaceutical and ecological significance.
What are two types of decompose organisms?
Bacteria and Fungi
What are two types of organisms that can undergo photosynthesis?
producers
Differentiate lichens from algae and fungi?
Lichens are a combination of an algae and a fungi functioning together as symbiotic organisms. Algae is an autotrophic organism which may be single or multicellular and consists of chlorophyll to perform photosynthesis. They are simple, eukaryotic organisms. Fungus are multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms consisting of a cell wall made of chitin and root-like structures called hyphae.
What are the two types of coordination in living organisms?
the two types of coordination in living organisms are as follows:chemical coordinationnervous coordination
What are the size of lichens?
They are made of two mutually dependent organisms. (Hope that helps!)
How does being a combination of 2 different types of cells give lichens a survival advantage?
Being a combination of 2 different types of cells gives lichens a survival advantage because the lichens can develop into two different forms depending on the environmental influences.
What are all of the types of fungi that makes its own food?
As far as I know, there are no fungi capable of making their own food. All fungi are heterotrophs. Lichens appear to be an exception, but lichens are a composite of two organisms. The fungus in a lichen is still considered a heterotroph as it relies on it's photosynthetic partner for food.
What is special about lichens?
Lichens are unique because they are a symbiotic relationship between fungi and either algae or cyanobacteria. They can grow in extreme environments and are often the first organisms to colonize barren landscapes. Lichens are also sensitive to air pollution, making them important bioindicators of environmental health.
What are 2 types of organisms?
Metamorphic and Igneous are two types.

Which two groups of organism are most likely to be pioneer organisms?
it can either be A.song birs and squirrels B.deer and black bears C.lichens and algae or D.oak and hickory trees

What are two types of decompose organisms?

Why is unusual that lichens are classified as a species?
Because Lichen are actually a close symbiotic intertwining between two very different organisms - usually a fungi and an algae.
