- Considering both habitat conditions and requirements for successful symbiosis, why should you be surprised that squid and the rumen of a cow have the exact same microbial symbiots?arrow_forwardSymbiosis is a close relationship between different species where at least one requires the other for survival. Parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism are the major types of symbiosis. Why is the relationship between Rhizobium and its host considered mutualism and not one of the other types of symbiosis?arrow_forwardLichen-forming fungi are generally capable of reproducing by the production of ascospores: single-celled reproductive units small enough to be carried away on the air. What questions does this fact pose about the obligate / facultative nature of this mutualism?arrow_forward

- What is Mycosis?arrow_forwardMycorrhizal fungi form obligate symbiotic relationships within plants. They are able to fix N2 into a usable form of nitrogen. In exchange, they receive nutrition from the plant. Which of the following is a true statement concerning mycorrhizal fungi? a) Finding a host plant is not crucial to their survival. b) They are a dominant species. c) They cannot survive without the host plant. d) They are considered plant parasites.arrow_forwardWhat is the importance of symbiosis in fungi?
