Answer:
Algae also need nutrients to grow and they find the nutrients in water. Algae absorb the nutrients through their entire body. While algae is making energy for themselves they are also producing oxygen for humans. Oxygen is released into the environmet and both humans and animals can use it.
A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyanobacteria. Like all fungi, lichen fungi require carbon as a food source; this is provided by their symbiotic algae and/or cyanobacteria, that are photosynthetic.
