While out on a hike you encounter an acacia tree covered in ants. The ants seem to be nesting on the tree and attack other insects that try to graze on it. Based on your observations you can conclude that; The ants are parasites of the tree The tree is producing secondary compounds to defend itself The ants are commensalists and are having no effect on the tree The acacia is in a specialized mutualism with the ants and is a myrmecophyte

Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have so few rhizobial nodules on their roots? When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.
