Select the correct answer. Mycorrhizae are associations formed by fungi that grow on the roots of trees. These fungi penetrate i

nto the roots of the trees. The trees produce energy through photosynthesis and share it with the fungi. The fungi act as decomposers, breaking down dead organic matter to provide nutrients for the trees to grow. What kind of a relationship is exhibited in this example?
A.
The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.
B.
The fungi are a parasite for trees.
C.
The fungi share a commensal association with the trees.
D.

Answer:

A.  The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.

Explanation:

Mutualistic relationship is a type of ecological interaction in which two species live in close association to benefit each other. In this example since both mycorrhizae and fungi are being benefited out of each other it is mutualistic relationship. The fungi gets energy from the tree for its survival and in return breaks down dead organic matter for the tree so as to make nutrients available for the tree.

Where does the po32– come from that circulates due to upwelling? select all that apply.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: a. dead organisms from the marine food web.

c. liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms.

Upwelling is a wind driven motion of lower bottom nutrient rich and warmer water on the surface of the water body. This wind driven motion facilitates the movement of nutrients available for growth of primary producers like phytoplanktons growing on the surface of water body. The dead organisms from the marine food web get decomposed and the organic matter obtain after decomposition is a rich source of phosphorous. This phosphorous gets transferred to the upper layers of the water body by upwelling.  In aquatic organisms ATP hydrolysis occurs which is a catabolic process that uses water to split the bonds present in the ATP molecule and hence, releases energy for functions performed by them along with a release in phosphate atom. This phosphate gets mixed with the water. Therefore, PO32 come from dead organisms from the marine food web and liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms that circulates due to upwelling.
