A phosphate solubilising symbiotic association is :

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Rhizobium

  2. Mycorrhiiza

  3. Azolla

  4. Pseudomonas

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Roots of most terrestrial plants are colonized by symbiotic mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi are capable of mobilizing inorganic phosphates or compound phosphates present in the soil to the plant an a source of Phosphorus.

So, the correct answer is 'Mycorrhiiza'

VAM is a

  1. Mycorrhiza

  2. Succulent

  3. Epiphyte

  4. Mesophyte

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Full form of VAM is Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza. It is formed by the symbiotic association between certain phycomycetous fungi and angiosperm roots. Thus VAM is a mycorrhiza.

So, the correct option is 'Mycorrhiza'.

Association of roots of higher plants and fungi is?

  1. Moss

  2. Fern

  3. Lichen

  4. Mycorrhiza

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Symbiotic association between roots of higher plants and fungi is termed as mycorrhiza.

Correct answer-D

VAM is

  1. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza

  2. Variable adenine mutation

  3. Variable associative mutualism

  4. Vitamins and minerals

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fungi forms symbiotic association with roots of higher plants, known as mycorrhizae. When fungal hyphae penetrate through cortex cells of root, these are called as Endomycorrhizae. These are also called vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae or VAM, because cortical cells swell and form vesicles or arbuscles. it has significant role in phosphorus nutrition in plants. hence, Option A is correct. 

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Bacteria and fungi

  2. Algae and fungi

  3. Fungi and roots of higher plants

  4. Blue green algae and roots of higher plants

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  • Fungi present in the roots of the plants show a symbiotic relationship with each other. 
  • It helps the roots of the plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil. 
  • It also helps them obtain better resistance to environmental stresses. In return, plants provide shelter and nutrition to mycorrhiza.
So, option C is the correct answer.

Mycorrhiza improve the soil structure by _______________.

  1. Secreting carbonic acids

  2. Releasing glycosides

  3. Absorbing heavy metals

  4. Adding amino acids

Show answer
Correct Option: A

The fungus which grows around the root surface is called

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Endomycorrhizae

  2. Ectomycorrhizae

  3. Rhizomorph

  4. Hatistoria

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mycorrhiza is an association between a fungus and the root of the higher plant, for example, pinus, eucalyptus etc.

The ectomycorrhizae is a fungal association in which the fungus partner is commonly basidiomycetes. The fungus completely encloses the roots in a mantle of tissues formed of compact hyphal cells but do not penetrate inside the root cells like in endomycorrhiza
So, the correct answer is option B.

Roots of higher plants develop mycorrhiza for obtaining

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Sulphates

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Phosphates

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Mycorrhiza is a type of symbiotic relationship. It is seen when two organisms have mutually beneficial relationship with each other. In this cas, the roots of plants host fungi, which helps them obtain water, sulphur, phosphates from soil. They also help them fix nitrogen. Inturn, fungi obtain nutrition and shelter 

So, option D is the correct answer.

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between 

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Algae and Fungi

  2. Algae and Roots of plants

  3. Fungi and Roots of plants

  4. Viruses and Bacteria

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fungi present in the roots of the plants show a symbiotic relationship with each other. It helps the roots of the plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil. It also helps them obtain better resistance to environmental stresses. In return, plants provide shelter and nutrition to mycorrhiza.

So, option C is the correct answer.

Mycorrhiza is an example of 

botany living world mycorrhiza classification of fungi kingdom monera, protista and fungi useful and harmful microbes

  1. Symbiotic relationships

  2. Ectoparasitism

  3. Endoparasitism

  4. Decomposers

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relation seen between certain plants and fungi. The fungi live on the roots of certain plants and help them absorb water and nutrients from the soil in a better way. In return, plants provide shelter and nutrition to fungi. So, both the organisms mutually befit each other.

So this type of relationship is called symbiotic relationship.
