In an ecological food chain, tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers, which in turn eat primary consumers, which in turn eat producers. In this chain, the producers are plants that generate their own food through photosynthesis: a process of using light energy and carbon to create glucose. Although lichens are fungi and corals are animals, both use the energy that photosynthesizing algae produce for their sustenance and growth. Lichens rely solely on algae for their energy. As for corals, while some species can exist solely by capturing food, most receive energy by hosting millions of single-celled algae organisms known as zooxanthellae. The zooxanthellae are provided safety from predation as well as certain by-products of the coral’s metabolism, such as ammonia, which zooxanthellae require to grow and reproduce. In return, the coral use a portion of the energy zooxanthellae produce through photosynthesis for its own sustenance, growth, and reproduction.
