Cyanoalgaensis E. Lichens do not have a single genus 44. Symbiotic relationships occur between fungi and A. Bacteria B. Animals C. Plants D. Green algae E. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer 41: The correct answer is option 'C' i.e. unicellular animal parasite. Microsporidia are put into fungi kingdom after a debatable argument. They are responsible for microsporodosis in animals. They are restricted in animals as parasite.

Answer 42: The correct answer will be option 'A' i.e. plant biomass. Gut fungi which reside in rumen help in the digestion of plant biomass. Plant biomass generally consist of cellulose. So, the maximum digestion in mammalian herbivores is achieved with the help of fungi which digest the cellulose or forage material.

Answer 43: The correct answer is option 'B' i.e. Cyanolichen. Cyanolichens are the lichen having symbiotic association between fungi and cyanobacteria (blue green algae). Cyanobacteria may be the primary food supplier or it may be assist by green algae sometimes.

Answer 44: The correct answer is option 'E' i.e. All of the above because fungi can be in symbiotic association with bacteria , plants , animals or fungi. Symbiotic relationship with bacteria is in lichens, with animals as in the gut of herbivores, with plants they form mycorrhizae and with green algae they are the part of lichens.
