Answer: C. The orchids receive water and oxygen from the fungi, while the fungi receive food and minerals from the orchids.

Mycorrhizal association refers to the mutualistic symbiotic relationship between a fungi and roots of vascular plants. In this type association both partners are benefited.

The plant roots are unable to take nutrients which are chemically or physically immobilized in the soil. The mycelium of the mycorrhizal fungus helps to avail those nutrients to the plants. Thus plants are able to obtain phosphates and iron through these fungi. These fungi also, increase the water absorption capacity of plants. In return the fungi receives the direct access of carbohydrates like glucose and sucrose. These carbohydrates translocate from leaves to roots, from there fungi receives these carbohydrates as food source.

The plant orchid and fungi of phyllum basidiomycota form mycorrhizal association, which is a mutalistic association. Thus, the orchids receive water and oxygen from the fungi, while the fungi receive food and minerals from the orchids.

Different types of cells within an organism ______.
Natasha2012 [34]
The answer is C, serve a different function.

In multicellular organisms, same types of cells makes up a tissue, and tissue makes up organs, then eventually organs work together as an organ system.

For example in humans, stomach cells makes up the stomach tissues, and stomach tissues makes up the stomach. stomach can help digest food and mix food molecules together. But in opposition, red blood cells is present in the blood tissue, however, their function is not to digest food, but is to transport oxygen.

Therefore, we can see that different cells serve a different function.
