Question

A type of green algae grows on a type of fungus in the natural in the state of mutualism. Explain the relationship

between these organisms.

Answer 1

Mutualism is a close interaction within ecology, from which both organisms have a certain advantage. Mutualism is usually not necessary for the organisms, and the relationship is often short-lived. An example is the cohacks (birds), which occasionally use larger ruminants as a pantry. Both parties benefit from the birds eating parasites in the ruminant's skin, but they are not dependent on it.
