Question
These organisms reproduce using gonidia, not spores, a process discovered by children’s author Beatrix Potter when she studied their Cladonia genus. The trebouxioid (“TREY-boo-shoyd”) type of these organisms can survive 98% desiccation and is used for simulations of Martian terraforming. Archaeologists date glacial deposits by measuring the size of these organisms’ thalli (“THALL-eye”). These organisms indicate sulfur dioxide pollution because their (*) fruticose morphology is sensitive to acid rain. Chlorophyte cells in these organisms are scattered throughout the hyphae (“HIGH-fee”). Caribou mainly prey on these pioneer species. Unlike in mycorrhizae (“mih-CORE-ih-zay”), fungal cells in these organisms use cyanobacteria or algae to harvest light. For 10 points, name these symbiotes that resemble mosses. ■END■
