What is a mutualistic relationship between plant roots and fungi?
they're just friends with benifits lol.
How do predatory fungi get energy?
how do mutualistic fungi get energy
Mutualistic fungi are decomposers?
yes
What is a symbolic relationship that fungi are sometimes apart of?
Fungi engage in symbiosis with plants, plant roots, and insects, to name a few.
What two organisms share a mutualistic partnership in the formation of mycorrhizae?
plant and fungi
What is relationship between the proteaceae plants and the native ants?
Mutualistic. That answer can be correct but it really depends on what you are talking about. For example some kinds of ants some of the time have a mutualistic relationship with scale insects that feed on plants in the family Proteaceae and may kill them. Some other kinds of ants do nothing for the plant, but do eat its nectar, which is a parasitic relationship. Such ants do not have a mutualistic relationship with the plant. Also, the relationship between the ants and the Proteaceae may be mutualistic in more ways than one. A common mutualistic relationship is one we call myrmecochory, in which the ants carry the seeds and thereby help the new plants to grow. What the ants get out of it is food. The plants grow nutritious tissues on the surface of the seeds, commonly at one end of the seed. We call such a lump of ant-feeding tissue an elaiosome.When the ants have eaten the elaiosome they either ignore the seed, or dispose of it on their garbage dumps. This usually is not where birds and other seed eating creatures will find the seeds, and it also might be a place that is very suitable for the seed to grow. For example the garbage might be good fertiliser, or it might poison fungi that might have rotted the seeds, or scare off other insects that might otherwise have eaten the seeds.
Different feeding relationship in an ecosystem?
Using celular digestion. The bacteria or fungi releases enzymes which digests the large food particles till they a small enough to absorb the nutrients. The way they absorb nutrients is call diversion.
What associations formed by fungi in mycorrhiza and lichens are similar to what?
The associations formed by fungi in mycorrhizae and lichens are similar to the one formed by oxpeckers and zebras. This is a mutualistic relationship where both parties benefit from the association.
Mutualistic fungi that help to provide nutrients to trees shrubs and other plants?
True
What two types of symbiosis involve fungi?
Zygomycota, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota are mutualistic with the roots of many plants. Fungal hyphae either forms a sheath around the outside of the roots or actually penetrates the root and enter directly into the root cells. The presence of the fungus increases the surface area of the root so it can absorb more water and nutrients. In return for helping the plant, the fungi uses sugars produced during photosynthesis.
Are there fungi that eat insects?
Yes there are insects that eat fungi, but fungi can eat some insects as well. Follow this link and you see that ants can get eaten alive by fungi. http://www.tightloop.com/ants/whatEatsAnts.htm
How is nitrogen made accessible to the plant?
By mutualistic symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing organisms, which can be prokaryotes, like cyanobacteria, or mycorrhizal fungi.
