Rhizobia are bacteria that live on the roots of some plants, such as legumes like pea plants. 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.

b) it is commensalism because the bacteria and pea plant don't harm each other.

c) it is competition because the rhizobia and pea plant both need the limited amount of available nitrogen.

d) it is mutualism because the bacteria receives carbon from the pea plant, while the plant uses the ammonia to make amino acids.

Answer from: Quest

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of amino acids , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in genes . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called transcription ), and the mrna is transported to the ribosome . protein synthesis, also called translation , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the nucleotides of mrna three by three, in units called codons , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the amino acid chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
