Question
Chapter 37, Problem 8TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plants are incapable of using nitrogen that is readily available in the atmosphere. Plants form a symbiotic association with the organisms that are living in their roots to uptake nitrogen from the soil. In most cases, mycorrhizal associations are formed with the plants.
