Summary Introduction
To discuss: Mutualistic interactions of plants with bacteria,
Concept introduction: Mutualism means two organisms of different species living together to benefit each other. This phenomenon is widespread and it is ecologically very important for the functioning of the natural ecosystem. Plants undergo these close interactions with bacteria, fungi, and animals, which are often long-term end and beneficial for both the organisms.

Characteristic of plants to survive on land
Select the following characteristics that allowed plants to survive and reproduce in a land environment.
A) Develop a means to prevent their cells and tissues form drying out
B) Enclosing the chloroplast in a double membrane to protect the pigments from UV radiation

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forward
