A more recent threat to tree survival is a fungus in the genus Phytophthora which can kill full-grown trees. Studies indicate that the fungus can arrive via footwear of hikers.
What is a possible solution to reduce fungus arrival or prevent the fungus on footwear from reaching the trees?
What steps would it take for a fungus to establish a symbiotic relationship with plants?
I understand that there are symbiotic soil fungi that are entangled amongst plant roots but this question I am wondering how they form a relationship if the fungus live between the plant cells.
If all of the saprophytic fungi in an ecosystem died, which of the following would be a likely short-term result?
Group of answer choices
Plants would not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil as effectively
Dead plant material would be decomposed more quickly, releasing higher levels of CO2
Less carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere because dead plant material would not be decomposed
Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart Plants would be unable to absorb nitrogen as efficiently because their root symbiotic fungi would be unable to break gaseous nitrogen apart

- Which of the following best describes the relationship between fig trees (Ficus carica), the ambrosia beetle (Euwallacea interjectus), and the fungus (Ceratocystis ficicola)? The beetles carry the fungus to the fig trees, which kills the fig trees. The fig trees require the fungus to survive, but the beetles eat and kill the trees. The beetles require both the fungus and the fig trees to survive. The fig trees infect the beetles with the fungus, which kills the beetles.arrow_forwardLichens could be correctly described as; A symbiotic association between an alga and a fungus A parasitic relationship between a fungus and an animal as symbiotic assocation betewen a fungus and the flies which disperse it's spores A symbiotic association between plant roots and a fungusarrow_forwardWhich 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 truearrow_forward
