Ruminants (like cattle) are herbivores but lack the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose from plants.  Part of the digestive tract of ruminants contains a microbial community that can break down cellulose.  These microbes gain energy from the plant material, and byproducts of their metabolism provide the host with a source of Carbon and energy.  What type of symbiosis does this relationship describe?
Why would it be disadvantageous for a plant to form a symbiotic relationship with a mycorrhizal fungus when phosphate is abundant in the soil surrounding its roots?
Describe the two symbiotic relationships between a fungus and another organism along with the explanation that how each partner is affected by the association.
