Lichens are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually, with nearly 1/3 of all species reproducing solely by asexual means. Given that lichens are an association between multiple species from different kingdoms, how do you think this might work? What components would have to be present in the reproductive structure for reproduction to be successful?

Given that lichens are an association between multiple species from different kingdoms, how do you think this might work: What components would have to be present in the reproductive structure for reproduction to be successful?
Lichens are not in a mutualistic relationship with ascomycetes as some scientists beleive but are in a mutualistic relationship with cyanobacterium or algae. true or false?
Because most lichens are not good for food and are not very important economically, should we be as concerned about some of them becoming extinct as we are about whales disappearing?
Hyphae that are divided into compartments by cross walls are called septate hyphae. True or false?
Why are lichens said to be pioneer plants?
Some fungi can be viewed as coenocytic organisms that exhibit little differentiation. When differentiation does occur, such as in the formation of reproductive structures, it is preceded by septum formation. Why does this occur?
which kinds of lichens have the lowest surface area per unit volume of tissue? Which have the most? How would you expect the form of a lichen to affect its nutrient retention ability? Its vulnerability to air pollution?
How are lichens an example of a mutualistic relationship? Which species are involved? How does each benefit from the relationship? do not copy from chegg
Lichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.
In which class of fungi sexual reproduction does not occur?
fungi are saprophytes like bacteria. true or false?
Ascomycetes vary greatly in morphology . How could you confirm that a fungus is an ascomycete?
