Which one of the following statement about lichens is wrong?
Updated On: Mar 20, 2024
- these grow very rapidly (2 cm per day)
- they show fungal and algal symbiotic relationships
- some of its species are eaten by reindeers
- these are pollution indicators

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Lichens grow by extending their thallus outwards from either tips or edges. They grow very slowly. Rates of growth can vary from 0.5 mm per year to 500 mm per year. This slow growth rate equates with their long life.

Biological Classification
The process of grouping living organisms into categories is called biological classification. The most modern 5-kingdom classification was put ahead by an eminent scientist R.H.Whittaker. The five-kingdom classification is based on the criteria like cell structure, mode of nutrition, body form, and reproduction. One of the most important characteristics of this system is that it follows the evolutionary sequence of living organisms. The organisms are classified into distinct taxa or levels like Kingdom, Phylum, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. The 5 kingdoms are as follows:
