3. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in protective nodules (bumps) on the roots of some plants.

These bacteria are able to convert gaseous nitrogen from the air into a form of nitrogen
that the plants can use. Which type of relationship is this?
~mutualism***
~predation
~commensalism
~parasitism

I think the answer is mutualism but I'm not sure if they'd count the Nitrogen-fixing bacteria would benefit from the process or not. Please, help me

just sent it in, it was correct. Thank you.

wait was her name Sue roberts?

You are correct, this relationship is an example of mutualism. Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship where both species involved benefit from each other. In this case, the nitrogen-fixing bacteria and the plants have a mutualistic relationship. The bacteria convert gaseous nitrogen from the air into a form that the plants can use for growth and development. In return, the plants provide the bacteria with a source of food and a protective environment within the nodules on their roots. Both the bacteria and the plants benefit from this relationship, making it a mutualistic one.

I am no biologist but suspect you are right. Obviously the plant benefits from the N2 but I do not think the bacteria would be there unless they gained something (like a home). The other choices make no sense.

Thanks, Damon, I'll go with that answer and keep you updated on whether we were correct or not.

;-; im lookng for an answer to so....
