Question

Besides a lichen, what is another type of mutual relationshop between a fungi and photoautotroph

Answer 1

Solution: A lichen is an organism that results from a mutualistic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic organism.

Another Photosynthetic organism is usually a cyanobacterium or green algae. They are an example of photoautotroph, which make energy from light but cannot use carbon dioxide as their sole source of carbon, and instead use organic materials. The fungus grows around the bacteria or algal cells. The fungus benefits from the constant supply of food produced by the Photosynthesizer. The Photosynthesizer benefits from the water and nutrients absorbed by the fungus.
