Calvin Willis, who was released from state custody Friday after DNA testing showed he didn't rape a 10-year-old girl, said he's thankful for his freedom but needs money to survive in society. I think I should be compensated, Willis said during a press conference at the Innocence Project New Orleans.
A lichen is not a single organism. Rather, it is a symbiosis between different organisms-a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Cyanobacteria are sometimes still referred to as 'blue-green algae', though they are quite distinct from the algae.
Actually, lichens are combinations of green algae and fungal tissue. 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.
