b) The leaves are unable to manufacture enough sugar to maintain the health of the plant.
c) The roots are unable to absorb enough water.
d) The stems are unable to support the plant.

R. Infection thread forms during nodule formation is an internal tubular extension of the plasma
membrane that is produced by the fusion of Golgi-derived membrane vesicles

When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forward
