Question

Relationship between leguminous plants and nitrogen fixation bacteria

Answer 1

Many legumes have root nodules that provide a home for symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. This relationship is particularly common in nitrogen-limited conditions. The Rhizobia convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonia, which is then used in the formation of amino acids and nucleotides.

Answer 2

The nitrogen fixation bacteria,or Rhizobium shares a symbiotic relationship with the leguminous plants.
