Question

In mycorrhiza, fungi filaments help in

• A. sugar absorption
  
• B. nitrogen containing compounds absorption
  
• C. all of these
  
• D. mineral and ions translocation
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D mineral and ions translocation


A mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association of a fungus with a root system.
The fungal filaments form a network around the young root or they penetrate the root cells.
The hyphae have a very large surface area that absorb mineral ions and water from the soil from a much larger volume of soil that perhaps a root cannot do. The fungus provides minerals and water to the roots, in turn the roots provide sugars and N-containing compounds to the mycorrhiza.

So, the correct answer is "Option B"
