Mycorrhizae involve a symbiotic relationship primarily between fungi and plant roots. The fungi, such as species from the genera Glomus, form a network of hyphae that extend into the soil, helping the plant absorb water and nutrients, particularly phosphorus. In return, the plant provides the fungi with carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis. This mutualistic association enhances plant growth and ecosystem health.
What else can I help you with?
Why mycorrhizae is important for higher plant?
Because mycorrhizae are symbiotic micro-organisms, providing nirogen to the higher plants by nitrification.
What two organisms share a mutualistic partnership in the formation of mycorrhizae?
plant and fungi
What is common term for fungi that form symbioses in plant roots?
Mycorrhizae
How do do mycorrhizae help plants?
The mycorrhizae fungus helps in the absorption of minerals and H20 from the soil and defends the roots from other fungi/nematodes.
What type of succession are pioneer organisms involved?
they are the last organisms to appear.
Which associations would benefit both a fungus and a plant?
mycorrhizae
What is the fungus called which has a mutualistic relationship with plant roots?
Mycorrhizae
Which converts nitrogen from air into a form plants use?
mycorrhizae
What type of relationship it is when the two organisms involved?
Symbiosis
With which organisms do fungi partner to produce lichen and mycorrhizae?
Fungi partner with algae or cyanobacteria to form lichens, where the fungal component provides structure and protection while the photosynthetic partner supplies nutrients through photosynthesis. In mycorrhizae, fungi form symbiotic associations with the roots of vascular plants, enhancing nutrient and water absorption for the plant while receiving carbohydrates in return. These mutualistic relationships are crucial for ecosystem health and plant growth.
