- For both fertilizers, plant growth began to decrease when 1.5 kg of fertilizer was given. D) Rhizobia are bacteria that live on the roots of some plants, such as legumes like pea plants. Rhizobia convert an element in the atmosphere into ammonia. Identify and explain the type of relationship this represents. A) It is parasitism because the bacteria absorbs food from the pea plant. It is commensalism because the bacteria and pea plant don't harm each B) other. It is competition because the rhizobia and pea plant both need the limited amount of available nitrogen. C) It is mutualism because the bacteria receives carbon from the pea plant, D) Eliminate while the plant uses the ammopia to make amíno acids.

- Plants do not require oxygen to produce ATP. A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have so few rhizobial nodules on their roots? When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forwardAvailable Nutrients occur in the soil generally in the form of:Group of answer choices A.)

(A) Root fungi in phylum Ascomycota can cause plants to produce antioxidants that provide protection against the stress of drought, and plants feed carbon to the fungi in their roots. (B) Root fungi and plants have evolved mutual benefits through a long history of interaction, in which fungi that provided the greatest benefits to plants had the highest fitness because of the carbon the plants fed them, and plants that supported fungi had the highest fitness because of the protection provided by the fungi. (A) is a proximate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is an ultimate cause. O (A) is an ultimate cause for plant-fungal symbiosis, whereas (B) is a proximate cause. Understanding plant-fungal interactions would NOT require cost-benefit analysis because there are no fitness trade-offs. (A) is an innate behavior and (B) is a learned behavior.
