- What is the phenomenon known as “red tide”? Which ambiental harms can it cause?arrow_forwardOne of the most widely known symbioses between microorganisms and plants is that of rhizobia and legumes. The basis of this mutualistic, symbiotic relationship can be described by which of the following statements? Actually, all of these are accurate descriptions of the symbiosis between rhizobia and plants. Rhizobia help the plants expand access to minerals in the soil while the plant protects the rhizobia from predators and viruses. The rhizobia will conduct photosynthesis which allow the plants to access carbon without having to deplete their own energy to do carbon fixation. The rhizobia fix nitrogen for the plant while the plant fixes carbon which it shares with the rhizobia. The rhizobia will produce oxygen which will help the soil to maintain oxygenation and thus avoid pathogens.arrow_forwardPlease watch the YouTube link to help answer this question. Think about the Bucket Orchid's use of secondary metabolites. How does the Bucket Orchid use secondary metabolites to “manipulate” the bee’s activities? Carefully assess each event you see in the video. There is evidence for 5 specific and distinct ways that the orchid 'manipulates' the bees activities (so there are 5 distinct possible answers). Please briefly describe 4 uses of secondary metabolites by the orchid and make sure you are specific and each one is distinct from the others.
