Halophiles uses chemicals to produce substances as source of energy. 3. Antelopes obtains food from other resources since it cannot produce its own. 4. Shitake mushrooms digest food in its environment before absorbing the nutrients it needs. 5. Ascaris absorbs nutrients from other living organisms by staying inside the body of that organism.arrow_forwardA group of researchers wanted to determine how leaf herbivory and seed production of a legume plant (legumes are a family of plants which includes beans and lentils) were affected by the presence of its mutualistic rhizobia (a group of nitrogen-fixing bacteria). They designed an experiment with two treatments: (1) rhizobia absent and herbivores present and (2) rhizobia present and herbivores present. Provide two additional treatments and briefly explain how they would contribute to our understanding of the results of this experiment.arrow_forward
- Soil microorganisms, collectively referred to as dizotrophs, fix 90% of the inert nitrogen gas to ammonium and nitrate. There are two-main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living (nonsymbiotic) and mutualistic (symbiotic). Describe the mutualistic relationship between Rhizobium and legumes. What is the advantage of using legumes as a cover crop in agricultural systems? A point of interest is that the nitrogenase enzyme complex is highly sensitive to oxygen. This is a major problem for free-living aerobic species such as cyanobacteria and species of the genera Azotobacter and Beiigrinckia. Describe two ways the bacteria can overcome to levels of oxygen in their cells.arrow_forwardMycorrhizae enhance plant nutrition mainly by(A) absorbing water and minerals through the fungal hyphae.(B) providing sugar to root cells, which have no chloroplasts.(C) converting atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia.(D) enabling the roots to parasitize neighboring plantsarrow_forwardTo acquire immobile nutrients, the root system must be:Group of answer choices A.)Actively growing B.) in an environment with adaquate available moisture C.)
