Students have asked these similar questions
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?
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?
Explain at least three important roles for fungi growing in a temperate deciduous forest. What would happen if all the fungi in these forests went extinct?
Explain, in detail, why ferns are better adapted for life on land than mosses.
Explain how the structure of hyphae (and a mycelium) relates to the function of these cells.

- Bryophytes can be found in every type of habitation, except in the oceans, thus reflecting the progressive species expansion occurred along the evolution. However, bryophytes rarely succeed in the ecosystem. Why do you think so? Give three reasons.arrow_forwardWhich term is not present in bryophytes? chloroplasts rhizoid cells phloem cells a sporangiumarrow_forwardLichens are said to be composite organisms made up of two very different types of organisms: usually a fungus and an alga (or in a few lichens, a fungus and a Cyanobacterium). (Alga is the singular of algae.) How do these two types of organisms work together to become a functional composite organism? That is, what does each organism provides to the relationship to make it successful? Think about a lichen living on the face of a rock.arrow_forward
- Many fungi are decomposers and degrade organic matter (such as wood and leaf litter). It has become clear that many of these decomposers are also able to colonize live plants as endophytes (living inside the plant without causing any harm) and allowing for prime access to plant tissues once the plant dies. Explain, using the principles of natural selection, how having the ability to be both a decomposer and endophyte evolved. Make sure you include the four steps of evolution by natural selection in your response.arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes a mutualistic relationship between insects and multicellular plants? Interactions between Rhizobium and the Fabaceae family Interactions between mycorrhizae and trees Interactions related to acacia trees Lichens Corals and Zooxanthellae Interactions between a host and a cleaner speciesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of a symbiosis between an Ascomycete and a green algae? Group of answer choices Ferns Rhizobium and Plants Lichens Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plants Hornwortsarrow_forward
- What are mycorrhizae? and what are the different types of mycorrhizae, mention two examples of fungi that form mycorrhizae with economically important plants.arrow_forwardA biologist is trying to classify an organism on the basis of the fact that they undergo sexual reproduction resulting through the formation of a sporangia that is protected by a thick coating. If you were asked for advice, to which group would you assign this new species? Glomeromycota Zygomycota Deuteromycota Basidiomycota Ascomycotaarrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION The fungus-alga symbiosis thatmakes up a lichen is thought to have evolved multiple timesindependently in different fungal groups. However, lichensfall into three well-defined growth forms (see Figure 31.22).How could you test the following hypotheses? Hypothesis 1:Crustose, foliose, and fruticose lichens each represent amonophyletic group. Hypothesis 2: Each lichen growthform represents convergent evolution by taxonomicallydiverse fungi.arrow_forward
- The roots of most plants form a symbiotic association with soil fungi. Name the association and the element that it supplies to the plant.arrow_forwardFill in the missing term/s in the analogy (one word only per underline) 1. Gemma cups ______ as ______ antherozoids 2. Algae: ______ as ______ yeast 3. _______ : Ascospore as Basidiomycota: _______ 4. Lichen: ______ as _____: blades 5. Producing spores: _______ as ______ bryophytesarrow_forwardWhat is the term for the symbiotic association between fungi and cyanobacteria? a. lichen b. mycorrhizae c. epiphyte d. nitrogen-fixing nodulearrow_forward
