1 Some DMMs can simultaneously measure and display the ac and dc components of a signal. 2  The DMM display can show results three ways (see illustration below): 3  The ac portion of the signal appears in the primary display and the dc portion in the smaller secondary display.
Each lichen specie is one alga species plus one fungus. The alga, a microscopic green plant, makes the food for the duo, while the fungus, a non-green plant, gives the pair support and soaks up moisture.
Lichens are Fungi! The plant-like appearance of lichens hides their true identity. A lichen is not a single organism, but the result of a partnership (mutualistic symbiosis) between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacteria. Some lichens are formed of three or more partners.The body of a lichen consists of fungal filaments (hyphae) surrounding cells of green algae and/or blue-green cyanobacteria.he plant-like appearance of lichens hides their true identity.
