Plants evolved on land mostly likely due to which of the following? By working with fungi like mycorrhizae that helped plants collect more carbohydrates By working with cyanobacteria that increased photosynthesis synergistically By working with fungi like mycorrhizae that helped plants resist environmental stress By working with fungi with stronger ascocarps
