What is the mutualistic relationship between legumes and nodule bacteria?
They are caused by a symbiotic bacteria which benefits the plant by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (which the plant needs to make proteins).
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.
Is a flowering plant and an insect a parasitism?
