Summary Introduction
To write: To test the given hypothesis.
Concept introduction: Lichen refers to symbiotic association formed between a
Given: Two hypotheses are proposed for lichen growth forms:
- a) Hypothesis 1: “Crustose, foliose, and fruticose lichens, of which each represent a monophyletic group”
- b) Hypothesis 2:“Each lichen growth form represents convergent evolution by taxonomically diverse fungi”

Algae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes. What evidences support this statement? How an algal cell is different from fungal cells, even if both are eukaryotes? Why slime mold is a protist not a fungus even if it does not have chloroplast?
Lichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.
Health professionals refer to fungal skin diseases as "“tineas" and name them according to the region
affected. Fungal skin diseases are persistent, in part, because fungi can penetrate deeper layers of
skin than can ointments and creams. There are fewer antifungal drugs than ones, and antifungals
often have more severe side effects. Reflect on the evolutionary relationships among bacteria, fungi,
and humans.
1. List 5 different "Tineas" to show the connection between the name and the body parts affected
from them.
2. Are fungi unicellular or multicellular organism?
3. Why it is harder to fight fungi than bacteria?
4. Why antifungals have more severe side effects?

- Which statement below is true about the most recently evolved groups (2 groups) of fungi? the two most recently evolved groups are zygomycetes and ascomycetes they have hyphae with crosswalls they are only found in aquatic environmentsarrow_forward1) Lichens are often early colonizers, growing on bare rock and in areas where there are no plants yet. How can lichens survive in such habitats, where there is seemingly no nutrients and harsh physical conditions? 2) Distinguish between a hypha (hyphae) and a mycelium. Give an example of a species you observed each in today.arrow_forwardEvolution of Photosynthetic Organisms Algae are autotrophs and can have photosynthesis, however, evolutionary evidence suggests that plants shared a common ancestor with only green algae and are closest relatives of Charophytes.

- Lichens are able to reproduce both sexually and asexually, with nearly 1/3 of all species reproducing solely by asexual means. Given that lichens are an association between multiple species from different kingdoms, how do you think this might work? What components would have to be present in the reproductive structure for reproduction to be successful?arrow_forwardEukaryotic cells can be detected at latest mid-way through the Proterozoic, and multicellular eukaryotes not long after – but there is a curious lag before the radiation of multicellular eukaryotic groups. We discussed two possible reasons for this. Explain both. Why might an early arrival of lichens on land explain aspects of both of those possibilities?arrow_forwardIdentify three major differences among the following divisions of algae: Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta.

They display unique adaptations in feeding, reproduction, and lifestyle (parasitism, free living, etc) among many others! Discuss protist evolution, including an overview of the major groups, and the breadth of variations that occur within this paraphyletic clade. How did protists lead to the evolution of the rest of life on Earth?arrow_forward
