Rhizobia convert an element in the atmosphere into ammonia. Identify and explain the type of relationship this represents. A) It is parasitism because the bacteria absorbs food from the pea plant. It is commensalism because the bacteria and pea plant don't harm each B) other. It is competition because the rhizobia and pea plant both need the limited amount of available nitrogen.
