Question

Rhizobia are bacteria that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. They live in the roots of many legume plants, forming structures called nodules. The plants use the fixed nitrogen, and the bacteria consume metabolites from the plants. This interaction is an example of parasitism. mutualism. commensalism. neutralism.

A bacterium lives inside a plant root, where it fixes nitrogen and exchanges this for carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis. This is an example of Select one: a. a mutualistic interaction b. a commensal interaction c. a mycorrhizal symbiosis d. an opportunistic infection e. a parasitic interaction
