The termite gut protist, Mixotricha paradoxa, has at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface. One kind is a sp

irochete that propels its host through the termite gut. A second type of bacteria synthesizes ATP, some of which is used by the spirochetes. The locomotion provided by the spirochetes introduces the ATP-producing bacteria to new food sources. Which term(s) is (are) applicable to the relationship between the two kinds of bacteria?
1. mutualism
2. parasitism
3. symbiosis
4. metabolic cooperation

Answer:

1. mutualism

2. parasitism

3. symbiosis

Explanation:

Mixotricha paradoxa forms symbiotic relationships  (Symbiosis is a relationship between two or more organisms that live closely together) with the termite.

Part of the morphological characteristics of the Mixotricha paradoxa are the presence of  "at least two kinds of bacteria attached to its outer surface." This morphological characteristics assist the termites in alot of ways. One of this kind of he spirochete  propels its host through the termite gut. A second type of bacteria synthesizes ATP, some of which is used by the spirochetes. The locomotion provided by the spirochetes introduces the ATP-producing bacteria to new food sources. (mutualism)

Mixotricha paradoxa helps to digests cellulose for the termite. We can now conclude that Mixotricha forms a mutualistic relationships  (mutualism) with bacteria living inside the termite. This is because the termite has spherical bacteria inside the cell which function as mitochondria, which Mixotricha lacks.

The Mixotricha are also organized into layers of tissue. Without their presence in the termite gut, the termites would die because Mixotricha keep the species intact, but they are harmful in an indirect way (parasitism).

Utah's Great Salt Lake has an average salinity seven times higher than that of the oceans. Very few multicellular organisms live
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: actively pump water back into their cells to counter its loss due to osmosis.

Explanation:

The salt lake is the hypertonic solution that means it exhibit the high concentration of salt as compared to what is present in the cells of the organisms. Thus the cells of animals or plants in the hypertonic solution shrinks as they will loose water. The water moves from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.

The brine shrimp cells will shrink in the hypertonic solution of the salt water. Thus the shrimp will actively take or pump water inside the cell to counter balance the loss of water caused due to osmosis.

You are a molecule of phosphorus. Choose a
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Phosphorus cycles between living things and the soil.

Plants absorb phosphates from the soil and turn them into organic compounds through assimilation.

Animals eat plants and pass the phosphorus through the food chain from one animal to the other.

An animal dies and decomposes, returning the phosphorus to the soil.
