Question

Endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhiza differences

Answer 1

Endomycorrhizae fungi have a symbiotic relationship with plants wherein the hypae of the fungus enters into the cells of a plant root to exchange nutrients.

Ectomycorrhiza have a symbiotic relationshipwith plants wherein the hypae of the fungus forms a sheath around the outside of the plant root and grows between the plants cells to exchange nutrients

Hope this will help you

Answer 2

Endomycorrhizal Fungi form exchange mechanisms on the inside of the root cells, intracellularly (and the hyphae extend outside the root). Endomycorrhizal fungi form mostly with green leafy plants and most commercially produced plants. Examples: Most Vegetables, Grasses, Flowers, Shrubs, Fruit Trees, and Ornamentals. Approximately 85% of terrestrial plant species on Earth are endomycorrhizal.

Ectomycorrhizal Fungi form exchange mechanisms outside of the root cells, extracellularly. Ectomycorrhizal fungi form mainly with Conifers and Hardwoods, and are required mostly for woody plants/trees and forest trees. Approximately 10% of terrestrial plant species on Earth are ectomycorrhizal.
