Organism in a lichen that provides protection - algae

Organism in a lichen that provides nutrients through photosynthesis - algae

Branched growth form of lichen - fruticose

Leafy growth form of lichen - foliose

Small and flat growth form of lichen - crustose

Explanation:

Lichens are composite organisms that are formed from symbiotic relationships between fungi and cyanobacteria/algae. The Green algae layer offers food to the fungi by photosynthesis while the latter supplies nutrients and offers protection to the algal component.

There are different types of lichen based on the growth structure:

Fruticose lichens grow upright and shrubby and posses either round or flat branches.

Foliose lichen appears like a leaf with upper and lower layers. They are usually flat or convoluted in nature.

Crustose lichens are small in appearance with flat, crusty growth on surfaces on which they grow.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.

blue is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
