Question

Two different species of plants X and Y live together as if they parts of the same plantZ.the plantX is an autographs where as plant Y is a saprophyte. The plantsY holds the cell of X in its mat of web like hyphae and supplies water and minerals to cell of plants X. The plant X makes food by photosynthesis and share it with plant Y.
a. What could plants I. X II. Y and iii Z be
b.Which of the two plants X and Y is green in colour,?
c. What is the relationship exhibited by plants X and Y known as?
d. Give another example of this type of relationship.

because i dont have points

Answer 2

According to the above paragraph, the following are the answers:

• Since X is an autotroph and makes food by the process of photosynthesis, it is an Algae. Y is a saprotroph and possesses a hyphae web that supplies water and minerals from the soil, it is a Fungi. When fungi and algae act as parts of each other, it is called Lichen which is plant Z.
• The green pigment in an organism denotes the presence of chlorophyll pigment. Chlorophyll helps in the photosynthesis process of conversion of light to chemical compounds. Hence the autotroph part X is green in color.
• The type of relationship denoted by the organism is Mutualism. In this type of relationship both the organisms live together and provide each other nutrients that the other cannot obtain. Fungi help in the transportation of water while algae provide food produced by photosynthesis.
• Another example of Mutualism is of Ocellaris clownfish and Ritter's sea anemones. The clownfish drives away the predators like butterflyfish of sea anemone. The tentacles of sea anemone keep clownfish's predators away.
