Statement I: | The plant makes organic molecules such as sugars by photosynthesis and supplies them to the fungus. The fungus supplies to the plant water and mineral nutrients, such as phosphorus, taken from the soil. |
Statement II: | Mycorrhizal plants are often more resistant to diseases, such as those caused by microbial soil-borne pathogens. |

Arbuscular mycorrhizas are formed only by fungi in the division:
1. | Ascomycota | 2. | Glomeromycota |
3. | Basidiomycota | 4. | Microsporidia |
Statement I: | They form a symbiotic relationship with the cyanobacterium Anabaena azollae. |
Statement II: | Anabaena azollae is an extracellular endosymbiont (living outside the host's cells) which fixes atmospheric nitrogen. |
