MCQ
Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) are important in:
  • A
    Nitrate uptake
  • B
    Phosphate uptake
  • C
    Both A and B
  • D
    Sulphate uptake

Answer

  1. Both A and B

Explanation:

An arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus is a type of mycorrhiza characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscules and vesicles. VAM fungi help plants to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen and micronutrients from the soil. Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae are important in helping the plant's nitrate and phosphate uptake.
