You discover an unknown mycorrhizae species associated with a legume plant and wanted to find out if it formed an endo- or ecto-mycorrhizal partnership. Which discovery below would be the best for helping you distinguish between the two? O hyphae penetrate only in between cells O mutualistic symbiosis O Legumes grown in sterile soil are stunted in growth O isotope tracers found plant carbon compounds in fungal body

Ecologists often attempt to introduce new plants to restore degraded land. In an arid climate, scientists recommend introducing plants with arbuscular mycorrhizae. How would the mycorrhizae increase the plants’ survival compared to plants without mycorrhizae?
Mycorrhizal fungi live in the soil and interact with the roots of plants. Essentail nutrients (e.g. nitrogenous compounds) are taken from the soil by the fungi and transferred to the plant roots. The fungi extract carbohydrates from the plant roots. What type of interaction is occurring?
Whichof the following is NOT an agent of nitrogen fixation?a.Mycorrhizal fungib.Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)c.Bacteria associated with legume rootsd.Lightninge.Actinomycete bacteria associated with alder roots
There are some plants such as Indian pipe and orchids that do not have chlorophyll, yet they are connected to the mycorrhizal web. What would you suspect their relationship to be?
What are mycorrhizae? and what are the different types of mycorrhizae, mention two examples of fungi that form mycorrhizae with economically important plants.
Biologists have discovered that many mycorrhizal fungi are sensitive to a low pH. What human-caused environmental problem may prove catastrophic for these fungi? How may this problem affect their plant partners? What measures could we take to decrease the problem?
Mycorrhizas represent associations between plant roots andmicroorganisms thata) are antagonistic.b) help plants take up phosphorus and other nutrients from soil.c) involve algae in the association with plant roots.d) form nodules on the plant’s leaves.e) lead to the production of antibiotics.
Which of the following statements is true regarding mycorrhizal relationships? this relationship is a type of parasitism bacteria partner with plant roots fungi provide energy (ATP) for their partner all glomeromycota are mycorrhizal fungi no statements above are true
Figure 24.21 If symbiotic fungi are absent from the soil, what impact do you think this would have on plant growth?
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION As you read inthis chapter, fungi have long formed symbiotic associationswith plants and with algae. In a short essay (100–150 words),describe how these two types of associations may lead toemergent properties in biological communities.
What is the symbiotic relationship between fungi and plant roots in which fungal hyphae penetrate the cell walls of the plants root cells? A-extomcorrhixa B vascular mycorrhizae C fungal rhizoids D arbuscar mycorrhiza E lichens
Please try to break the solutions into as many steps as practically possible and the steps should come one by one and they should be short and crisp and plagiarism-free. The symbiotic association between fungi and algae iscalled(a) lichen (b) mycorrhiza(c) rhizome (d) endomycorrhiza
