Which of the following is NOT a function of mycorrhizae?
a. assemble amino acids
b. increase water and mineral uptake
c. break down organic materials
d. none of the above

Respuesta :

A. assemble amino acids

Mycorrhizae are fungal colonies that are in a mutualistic relationship with plants. These fungi help the plant absorb more nutrients and water from the soil, while the plant provides the fungus with carbohydrates that it generates through the process of photosynthesis. Mycorrhizae do not carry out the assimilation of amino acids, this is a process carried out the plant by itself.
