Answer 1

Answer:

Parmelia is an example of foliose lichen

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) crustose lichen

Explanation:

Crustose lichen forms a thin crust growing on or in the substrate, and which cannot be detached from it. They may be areolate (divided into islands by cracks in the thallus). An upper cortex protects the algal layer in the medulla beneath, and there is often a differently coloured ring of actively growing fungal hyphae round the margin (the prothallus). Graphis is a crustose lichen.
