How do you change your computer screen from landscape to portrait setting? My son was playing with the computer and when I looked at the screen he somehow changed it to a landscape appearance rather than standard portrait.
Lichens have been described as dual organisms because they are symbiotic associations between two (or sometimes more) entirely different types of microorganism 1  -. a fungus (termed the mycobiont). 2  a green alga or a cyanobacterium (termed the photobiont).
This is because a lichen is not a separate organism in the sense of being one type of individual. It is actually a close partnership between a fungus and an alga. (Algae are very simple plants). The two types of organisms in the partnership are so closely interwoven that they appear as a single individual.n lichens where the partner is a species of Nostoc, organic nitrogen is also supplied to the fungus, because Nostoc is able to fix atmospheric nitrogen. In return, the water, nutrients and gases absorbed from the environment by the fungus are shared with the algae.
