Nail polish will last up to 12 months, depending on the quality and how many times you take it on a plane (the cap always unscrews on me during flights, leaving my purse a -- fume-y -- mess!). See 5 really tacky nail trends.
All fungi are heterotrophic, which means that they get the energy they need to live from other organisms. Like animals, fungi extract the energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds such as sugar and protein from living or dead organisms.
A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyanobacteria. Like all fungi, lichen fungi require carbon as a food source; this is provided by their symbiotic algae and/or cyanobacteria, that are photosynthetic.ichen photobionts are the green algae or cyanobacteria that provide the simple sugars to their fungal partners. 90% of all lichens associate with a green-algal photobiont. About 100 species of photobionts are known, and the commonest ones are from four main groups.
