Question

bacteria present in legume roots are autotrophic or heterotrophic?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Root nodules are found on the roots of plants, primarily legumes, that form a symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, capable plants form a symbiotic relationship with a host-specific strain of bacteria known as rhizobia.

Explanation:

Leguminous plants belong to the family Fabaceae. These plants have a symbiotic association with the soil bacteria called the Rhizobium, that live in their roots, forming root nodules and fix atmospheric nitrogen into the nitrates and nitrites for the plants and in turn, the plants provide the nutrition to the bacteria.
