D

BGA.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Lichens are association (mutually beneficial ) between fungus and alga.The fungal partnar is mycobiont and algal partner is phycobiont.The mycobiont is usually an ascomycete and phycobiont is usually green algae.Lichens can grow in extremely inhospitable conditions .In many ecosystems they are the pioneer species.The role of mycobiont is providing body structure and anchorage and absorption of minerals and water. The role of phycobiont is mainly in providing food through photosynthesis

Phycobiont and Mycobiont

Asseration : In lichens, mycobiont and phycobiont are symbiotically associated in which algae is predominant and fungi is a subordinate partner. Reason : The fungus provides food and alga protects the fungus from unfavourable conditions.

Make corrections wherever you find mistake in spellings/words in the following paragraph/sentences. (A) Protozoans are generally multinucleate, but all ciliates and many amoeboid types are uninucleate. (B) Contractile vacuoles are found in almost all terrestrial protozoans for maitenance of carbon concentration of cell body, the phenomenon is known as osmoregulation. Contractile vacuole also helps in reproduction. (C) The protozoan cell body is either naked or surrounded by a rigid pellicle. Cellulose is present in pellicle. Some protozoans secrete shells of various organic compounds as external covers. (D) Ascomycetes are coenocytic as well as multicellular fungi. In the later, mycelium is asceptate. The asexual spores are formed in chains are called zoospores. The spores are formed endogenously, i.e., inside sporangium. (E) Sexual reproduction in Rhizopus is oogamous and the mode of sexual fusion is gametangial contact type. (F) A lichen is structurally organised entity consisting of the permanent association of a fungus and an alga. The fungal component of a lichen is called phycobiont and the algal component is called mycobiont. Both mycobiont and phycobiont are associated in parasitic union in which the fungus is more predominant and alga is subordinate partner.
