Lichens are dual organisms which has a permanent symbiotic association of fungus and an alga. The fungal partner is called mycobiont an the angal partner is called phycobiont

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.
