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?
Assume you have an invasive fungus species growing in your backyard and you want to get rid of it. You decide to remove them from the ground by hand and dispose them in a corner because they will die off anyways. Few days later, you see even more fungi growing where you remove the original fungus. Why do you think that happened?
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

- What steps would it take for a fungus to establish a symbiotic relationship with plants? I understand that there are symbiotic soil fungi that are entangled amongst plant roots but this question I am wondering how they form a relationship if the fungus live between the plant cells.arrow_forwardIf all of the saprophytic fungi in an ecosystem died, which of the following would be a likely short-term result? Group of answer choices Plants would not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil as effectively Dead plant material would be decomposed more quickly, releasing higher levels of CO2 Less carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere because dead plant material would not be decomposed Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apartarrow_forwardWhichof 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 rootsarrow_forward
