I need VERY QUICK help: what are symbiotic relationships of the desert?

Question

SCIENCEEEEE

Answer 1

A representative of Cyanophyta, a blue-green algae, belongs to the kingdom Monera. Blue-green algae is usually found in crevices of desert rocks. Cyanophyta is involved in a symbiotic relationship with the fungus Lescanora esculenta. This relationship is the basis for a species of desert lichen, usually classified by the name of the fungus with which it is made.

An example of symbiosis in the desert is, that microbes on cactus's absorb water for the cactus since there is little water in the desert. This helps the cactus to live because, if there was no microbe the cactus would die because, it has no roots to absorb the water.

The family, Cycadaceae, was originally described in 1753 by Carolus Linneaus, and consists of about 30-40 species.

symbiotic relationship with the cyanobacteria, the cycad provides a home for the algae, and the algae provide extra nutrients for growth. Coralloid roots are only known to occur in cycads and in turn cycads are the only known gymnosperms to form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing organisms.

A symbiotic relationship in the desert is that between

the yucca moth and yucca plant: the yucca moth is the only moth that

pollinates the yucca plant, and the yucca plant is the only place a

yucca moth will lay eggs.  As for parasites, sand fleas are well-known

desert parasites on desert animals such as camels.  I hope this will get you started!

Answer 2

this has nothing to do with botany (the study and science of plants).....

maybe that the cactus stores water for other plants and animals to utilize.......   very vague question
