  3.    ATP
  4.    nitrate
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ammonia
Question 15. . Which of the following is correct?
  1.    Mycorrhizae are fungi that form a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship with plant roots
  2.    The fungi aid in transmitting nutrients and water to the plant roots
  3.    The increased nutrient availability from mycorrhizae is thought to be due to the additional absorbing surface provided by the fungi
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above
Question 16. . In the process of nitrogen fixation, which of the following microorganism is involved?
  1.    Non symbiotic microorganisms only
  2.    Symbiotic microorganisms only
  3.    Non symbiotic and symbiotic microorganisms only
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Non symbiotic and symbiotic microorganisms only
Question 17. . Nitrogen oxidation (nitrification)refers to the
  1.    conversion of ammonium ions into nitrates through the activities of certain bacteria.
  2.    changing of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to nitrogen compounds
  3.    sulfur is oxidized to the sulfate form through Thiobacillus bacteria
  4.    none of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> conversion of ammonium ions into nitrates through the activities of certain bacteria.
Question 18. . An example of a symbiotic nitrogen fixer is
  1.    Azotobacter
  2.    Beijerinckia
  3.    Clostridium
  4.    Rhizobium
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rhizobium
Question 19. . The groups of symbiotic bacteria, which have the ability to fix nitrogen
  1.    derive their food and minerals from the legume, and in turn they supply the legume with some or all of its nitrogen
  2.    grow together for a mutual benefit is called symbiosis and so these bacteria are called symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria
  3.    these bacteria are from the genus, Rhizobium
  4.    all of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of the above

  4.    Both (a) and (b)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> It also contains with traces of O2 and Cl2
