The greatest difference in health between two groups of plants of the same species, one group with mycorrhizae and one group without mycorrhizae, would be in an environment a. where nitrogen-fixing bacteria are abundant. b. that has soil with poor drainage. c. that has hot summers and cold winters. d. in which the soil is relatively deficient in mineral nutrients.

Hello everyone. And in today's video we have the following problem which of the following is a major benefit that plants can get from their symbiotic partner. Micro rising. And so I want you to look at this term major benefit in order to move on and solve this problem. I want you to keep that in mind. So also before we jump in let's quickly recall from previous videos what a micro rising is and it is nothing more than a symbiotic fungi that is present in the roots of plants and help the plan. It enhances the plants nutrient absorption. So it's very beneficial for the plant and it helps it absorb certain nutrients such as phosphorus that the plant could not be able to absorb as well otherwise. And so knowing this now let us jump straight into the problems starting anti choice B. We have that it helps the plants reproduction process. Looking at our definition here. The production is really not the main thing that this micro rises are doing for the plant. So let us cancel this out and move on to answer choice C. We have that micro rising, increase the plant's water uptake. Well one of these nutrients that micro rice helps the plant absorb is going to be water. So it is actually correct. And we cannot eliminate this. So let us just leave it there and move on to answer choice D. Which protect the plant from this occasion for this occasion is nothing more than a lack of water. So by increasing the water uptake of the plant accuracy are also helping the plant be protected or prevent this occasion. So we cannot eliminate answer choice D. Either as it's very related to see. And now let's just leave that there and move on to answer choice A which is going to be the accuracy, increase the surface area for nurturing absorption of the plant. And this term of increasing the surface area is actually going to be exactly what these micro rises due or the mechanism by which they increase nutrient absorption. Using something that we call hi Fi, which are fundamental structures present on the on the on the micro rises that allow this increase of area, increase the nutrient absorption of the plant as well. And so that is going to be the most correct definition or the most the major benefit that these plants are getting from the micro crazy. And we're going to highlight it as our final answer. So thank you very much for sticking out until the end of this video. I really hope it helped you
