What is an endolithic algal community? Where are these found, and how do they survive?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Endolithic algal communities would likely be found on rocks in aquatic environments. The rock communities can contain a coexistence of algae, fungi, and lichens. As the rocks become weathered, more pores are formed, and more surface area is exposed for photosynthetic microorganisms to thrive using light (photons) to obtain energy.
