Chapter 36.2, Problem 1C

Summary Introduction

To explain: The similarities between mycorrhizae and root nodules.

Introduction: The underground branching root systems are often more extensive than the areal part of the plant. The extension of root depth and spread of a plant differ from that of another plant species, and they also vary among individuals of the same species. The dissolved minerals are transported from roots to the leaves throughout the plant in the xylem.
