The importance of nitrogen fixation can be judged by the fact that:
1. it can only be done by certain prokaryotes.
2. it is most often the limiting factor in plant growth.
3. it is very expensive in terms of metabolic energy.
4. its availability replaces requirement of some other essential nutrients.
A plant infected with Rhizobium:
1. has necrotic tissues.
2. dies.
3. gets flaccid.
4. probably will grow faster.
Necrosis of young leaves is a symptom of deficiency of calcium in plants indicating that calcium:
1. is a relatively immobile nutrient in plants.
2. is tied up in formed chlorophyll molecules.
3. is concentrated in the xylem of older leaves.
4. is concentrated in older leaves.

Both Rhizobium and Frankia:
1. are symbionts with legumes
2. are symbionts with actinorrhizal plants
3. initiate the formation of root nodules in the symbiont plant
4. are filamentous bacteria
