Summary Introduction
To discuss: Mutualistic interactions of plants with bacteria, fungi, and animals to improve plant nutrition.
Concept introduction: Mutualism means two organisms of different species living together to benefit each other. This phenomenon is widespread and it is ecologically very important for the functioning of the natural ecosystem. Plants undergo these close interactions with bacteria, fungi, and animals, which are often long-term end and beneficial for both the organisms.

Discuss the following prompt:
In this experiment, we are looking to see how much different types of soil will affect the time it takes for pinto Bean seedlings to germinate out of the ground. The scientific name of a pinto bean is Phaseolus vulgaris. Pinto beans are kind of beans people usually eating, and people commonly use pinto beans in many dishes, such as rice and pasta. Planting pinto beans need many necessary factors, however, I think the type of soil is the most important one to grow it faster. Pinto beans are kind of plants can grow in dark and dry area, so even in dark (less light), they can grow as well. The goal is to determine that soils have different characteristics that can help or hurt plant growth.
In order to discover the effects soils have on plant growth, three different soil samples will be used in a controlled study. The samples will vary in consistency, texture, color, location, moisture, and contact with human life to ensure that the samples are…

- Plants provide a wide range of benefits to both the ecosystems in which they live, as well as to humans.

Be sure to include information regarding why these functions are important or what impact they have.arrow_forwardPrepare a summary of this article without distorting the message it wanted to convey For farmers, pesticides save labor and generally provide a higher yield: they can mean the difference between saving a crop and losing it to disease. Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forwardThe following figure depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above.
