Figure 31.1 below depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an open meadow, as viewed from above. The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 meters below the soil surface. Responses may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

-How are the vascular plants that are involved in mycorrhizae and the photosynthetic cells that are involved in lichens alike?

Vascular plants that participate in mycorrhizal associations provide organic nutrients to their fungal partners in exchange for nutrients such as phosphorus. Similarly, photosynthetic cells that participate in lichens provide organic nutrients to their fungal partners in exchange for nutrients such as nitrogen.
