Question

Bacteria living in the root nodule of the pea gram plant draw nutrition from the host plant and hence is a parasite

Answer 1

Answer:

Pea (Pisum sativum L.), as most legumes, establishes in root nodules a symbiotic association with Rluzobium leguminosarum bacteria. Atmospheric N2 is reduced to NH^ within nodule cells and then incorporated into amino acids before being released into the phloem, thus providing assimilated nitrogen to the whole plant.
