Summary Introduction
To describe: An advantage and a disadvantage of phytoremediation.
Introduction: The plants are mainly multicellular, predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. The parts of plants include stem, roots, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds. The plants perform a process of photosynthesis by which plants capture the energy of sunlight and use carbon dioxide from air to make their own food.

When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forward
