Many plants form symbiotic partnerships with underground fungi known as mycorrhizae. These fungi grow around plant roots, effectively extending the root system into the surrounding soil. This connection allows the plant to absorb essential nutrients, such as phosphorus, far more efficiently than it could on its own. In return, the plant supplies the fungi with sugars produced during photosynthesis. This exchange is vital for both organisms' survival, particularly in nutrient-poor environments.
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?
- It describes a specific benefit that plants receive from the symbiotic relationship.Cevap
- BIt challenges the idea that the partnership is beneficial to both organisms.
- CIt explains how the fungi produce sugars through photosynthesis.
- DIt summarizes the overall significance of mycorrhizal partnerships in nutrient-poor environments.
Cevap
It describes a specific benefit that plants receive from the symbiotic relationship.
The correct answer correctly identifies that the underlined sentence describes a benefit the plant receives from the relationship. Specifically, the sentence states that the connection allows the plant to absorb nutrients more efficiently than it could on its own.
