(1) Algae and fungi live together in lichens.
What is a Lichen? A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyanobacteria. ... The lichen symbiosis is thought to be a mutualism, since both the fungi and the photosynthetic partners, called photobionts, benefit.
(b) What value can we learn from this association
Symbiosis is a close and long interaction between two organisms of different species for mutual benefit.
The relationship between the two organisms is interdependent.
For example, the shell of a hermit crab provides anemones with a place to exist.
The anemone in turn protects the crab with its sting.
The value that symbiosis teaches us is that it is beneficial to help others.
