Answer:
Explanation:
(A) The Lichen Symbiosis
Lichens are made up of two or more closely interacting organisms, a fungus, and one or more partners called photobionts. The photobiont may be an alga and/or cyanobacteria, both of which can produce simple sugars by photosynthesis.
(B) The symbiotic association between fungi and roots of higher plants is referred to as mycorrhiza.
The plant supports the fungus by providing carbohydrates needed for fungal growth, while the fungus helps the plant by increasing its root surface area.
