Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 8TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • INTERPRET THE DATA The nitrogen-fixing bacterium Rhizobium infects the roots of some plant species, forming a materialism in which the bacterium provides nitrogen, and the plant provides carbohydrates. Scientists measured the 12-week growth of one such plant species (Acachiirrorata) when Infected by six different Rhizobium strains.
(a) Graph the data. (b) Interpret your graph.
