6 0

Answer:

The term linchpin is appropriate in describing the termites as they are ecologically important for ecosystem. They play different roles.Termites being decomposers digest the cellulose present in the decaying plant matter, they convert cellulose into reusable form for plants. Termites fix nitrogen by digesting the nutrients in the soil and separates the nitrogen from the attached atoms which is easily taken up by the plants. Termites creates shelter for various insects colonies. They burrow deep inside the soil, creates tunnels suitable for insects colonies living.

How do living things make use of the energy stored in food molecules?
ipn [44]
Answer:
             The energy stored in food molecule (glucose) is released in he process of respiration. 

Explanation:                     Respiration is a cellular process in which glucose molecule is broken down into carbon dioxide, water and ATP is produced as end product. Respiration consists of following main steps:
1. Glycolysis:                It occurs in the cytoplasm of cell, and each glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvates with help of ATP.
2. Formation of Acetyl coenzyme A:                                                        It is a connecting link reaction between glycolysis and Kreb cycle. In this phase Each pyruvate react with Coenzyme A to become acetyl coenzyme A.
3. Kreb Cycle:                   It occurs inside mitochondria. In this cycle each acetyl coenzyme A with fixed with CO to produce citrate which undergo in a cyclic reaction to produce ATP and NADH. . 
4. Electron transport chain:                                           It is the last step of respiration which complete in mitochondrial membrane. In this phase most of the energy is produced along with H₂O as by product.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

Myelin is a fatty substance composed of lipids which surrounds the axons of the nerve cells in the central nervous system. The myelin is formed by the oligodendrocytes in CNS and Schwann cells in PNS.

The plasma membrane of the oligodendrocytes containing the myelin covers the axons of the neurons in spiral fashion thus proving a sheath around through the process called "myelination".

This myelin sheath protects the neurons from the external environment as well as insulates the neuron which increases the efficiency of the impulse.

Thus, Myelination is the correct answer.
