What are the characteristics of mycorrhizal fungi that make them unique from tree roots in their ability to obtain nutrients and water? They have a higher surface area for absorbing nutrients and water They have enzymes capable of acquiring inorganic nutrients from organic matter They grow faster than tree roots They are carbon based They are much smaller than tree roots

A plant that did not have mycorrhizae would most likely; Not be able to absorb as much water and nutrients as a plant that did Have a fungus that penetrates into the plants root cells to exchange nutrients Have a bacteria that lives in nodules on it's roots Be healthier than a plant that did have mycorrhizea
Plant roots receive all of the following from the symbiotic association with fungi except: O carbohydrates (sugars) soil nutrients (namely P) O increased water uptake O protection from soil diseases
You discover an unknown mycorrhizae species associated with a legume plant and wanted to find out if it formed an endo- or ecto-mycorrhizal partnership. Which discovery below would be the best for helping you distinguish between the two?

The hyphae of fungi provide these advantages (select all that apply). O Provide large surface area to volume ratio Allow for better searching to find food The mycelium is not sensitive to dry conditions They can withstand cold and hot temperatures in certain species The mycelium can be as large as 3.4 miles in one individual O O
Which of the following statements is true regarding mycorrhizal relationships? this relationship is a type of parasitism bacteria partner with plant roots fungi provide energy (ATP) for their partner all glomeromycota are mycorrhizal fungi no statements above are true
Which of the following is true of mychrrhizae? 1. The fungal hyphae of ectomycorrhizae form arbuscles. 2. Ectomycorrhizae penetrate the cytoplasm of root cells. 3. Endomycorrhizal fungal hyphae form a dense mantle ensheathing roots. 4. Ectomycorrhizae are found in many crop plants such as wheat and maize. 5. Ectomycorrhizal fungal hyphae form a dense mantle ensheathing roots.

Which of the following is NOT a reason why fungi can grow so quickly? Group of answer choices external digestion of food particles hyphae with incomplete or no cells walls between cells a huge number of hyphae a very small SA: V ratio very thin hyphae
The symbiotic association between plant root and fungi is known as: O mycorrihiza O hyphae O actinomycetes O rhizobium
As noted in Section 46.7, mycorrhizal fungi help prevent carbon in the soil from escaping into the atmosphere. These fungi also benefit a host plant by providing it with a share of the phosphorus and nitrogen that their hyphae take up from soil. Most crop plants are capable of forming a relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, if any are present in the soil. Some people have suggested that inoculating soil with fungal spores could help reduce the use of industrially produced fertilizer. What are some potential advantages of using fungi, rather than chemical fertilizers, to enhance plant growth?
