Answer:

Termites are insects that require the protozoan Trichonympha in their gut to synthesize the enzyme cellulase to degrade the cellulose in wood. The protozoan uses the end products of the cellulose breakdown (glucose). This is a(n) <u>mutualistic</u> relationship.

Explanation:

Mutualism is a sybiotic relationship where both organisms are helped in some way, in which populations interact to benefit eachother.

As in the cases of Termites and trichonympha, Termites requireTrichonympha in their gut to synthesize the enzyme cellulase to degrade the cellulose in wood (Termites are getting benefit) The protozoan uses the end products of the cellulose breakdown (Trichonympha also getting benefit). As both of them are benefite3d, this is mutualism.

Sergio [31]

This is an example of Precursor gene regulation (protein translation) type of eukaryotic gene regulation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The source which breakdown proteins into smaller amino acid is pepsin and generated as top cells within stomach lining or membrane, responsible for pepsinogen emission inside stomach. It is represented as zymogen having an extra 44 amino acids linkage as its primary structure. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) releases this zymogen which is emitted from the parietal cells in the stomach lining.

Once food is consumed, the hormone gastrine and the vagus nerve cause the secretion of both pepsinogen and HCl from the stomach lining. Hydrochloric acid induces an acidic environment that allows pepsinogen to unfold in an autocatalytic manner and thus generates pepsin the active form.

Point A is the same distance from the epicenter as point B. Using what you know about the movement of waves, how would you
never [62]

A.  The waves would be exactly the same at points A and B.

Explanation:

The seismic waves at both point A and B would be exactly the same at the two points.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that spreads out concentrically in all directions from their source.

  • Both S and P waves are body waves that moves within the earth.
  • In a seismic station, the p-waves or primary waves arrives first before the s-waves or secondary waves.
  • At any point equidistant from the epicenter, baring any geologic differences in the subsurface, the waves would be exactly the same at all points.
