The answer is a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiosis is an interaction between two different species. Termites live feed on dead plant materials and cellulose. But their body cannot produce enzymes responsible for cellulose degradation. Therefore, they <span>established symbiotic interactions with gut bacteria which are able to digest the fiber in the wood.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Option B, an allosteric inhibitor.

Explanation:

As the enzyme activity decreases, it is not possible for A to be a coenzyme (most likely would increase the enzyme activity), a substrate (increases activity of enzyme by Le Chatler's principle) or an intermediate (no effect). A is unlikely to be a competitive inhibitor as this would not decrease the activity of the enzyme, only  reduce the rate of conversion of substrate to product. A is most likely an allosteric inhibitor which binds to another site on the enzyme (other than the active site), resulting in a change in conformation of the enzyme which reduces the enzymatic activity.

How do bacteria and viruses differ in the ways they affect cells in the body?
joja [24]
A bacteria is a prokaryotic microorganism that can either be beneficial, or harmful to the body. A virus is acellular, and has no cellular structure, and needs a living host to survive; it causes illness in the host, which causes an immune response. Bacteria are alive and can be treated with an antibiotic if it is harmful to the body. Since viruses are considered nonliving, the virus itself cannot be eliminated, but the symptoms can be treated. Another thing a virus can do that a bacteria can't is genetically program itself into the cells, which means that if you get it once, the symptoms can show up throughout the course of the human's life.
