Answer 1

This relationship can be described as a mutualistic symbiotic association. The algae and fungi rely on each other for survival and both benefit from the interaction. The fungi provide essential nutrients and resources to the algae, while the algae share the energy obtained from sunlight with the fungi. Hence, there is a mutual exchange of resources and energy between the two organisms.
