Answer:

<em>A. Both are eukaryotic</em>

Explanation:

Despite the fact that termites are insects that eat wood, termites are not equipped for processing wood all alone. Endosymbionts like trichonympha that live inside the digestive tracts of the termite help with converting over the wood into nutrients that the termite can process.

Trichonympha have the enzymes that can convert cellulose in wood into starches and sugars that the termite can use for their nutrition. In return, these living beings profit by the nonstop supply of energy rich cellulose and an appropriate domain in which to live. Both trichonympha and termites show mutualism.

nydimaria [60]
Question : T<span>he humpback whale can be seen off the coast of Alaska during the summer months, but is found as far south as California and Hawaii during the winter. Why would the humpback whale most likely spend the summer months off the coast of Alaska?

Answer : The humpback whale likes being in the cold like all other fishes.
The humpback whale is usually found around the coast of Alaska because it is a little colder over there. Then in winter it is found around Hawaii and California because the pacific ocean cools down and is not so hot anymore!

Cyanobacteria and purple sulfur bacteria both obtain energy from light. however, only the ________ are capable of releasing ____
kap26 [50]

Answer: Cyanobacteria, oxygen

Cyanobacteria also known as Cynophyta and blue green algae. It is a phyllum of bacteria that produces it's own food like plants by the process of photosynthesis. It is found in freshwater lakes, damp soils, oceans, moistened rocks and even in animal fur. The purple sulfur bacteria belongs to the group of Proteobacteria. It is an anaerobic bacteria. It is found in hot springs, and stagnant water. It is a photosynthesizing bacterial strain like Cyanobacteria but it does not utilize water to be reduced in the photosynthesis process like in Cynobacteria, to produce oxygen.

Hence, only the <u>Cyanobacteria</u> are capable of releasing <u>oxygen</u>.

Using a water bottle as our topic, describe how changing the type of water bottle fits into the four areas of sustainability; en
Masja [62]

Answer:

The world needs to stop the use of Plastic Water bottles.

Because plastic is non-biodegradable, it pollutes the environment, the rivers, drainage systems, and even our oceans.

Plastic Water Bottles have become a bio-hazard to our marine ecosystem. Autopsies performed on some sea fish have revealed several kilograms of human waste comprising mostly of plastic.

Another reason why it is critical to commence the disuse of the plastic water bottle is that it is not sustainable. Plastic is made from resins. Resins are gotten from plants and trees. It is impossible to continue to harvest resins at the current rate of plastic production and still have a green earth.

In some countries, purchasing water in a plastic bottle is a status symbol. The politicians who need to make decisions with regard to these issues are not helping matters because many of them either are not concerned or have vested interests in the companies along the value chain of plastic water bottle production.

Economically speaking, discontinuing the production of plastic water bottle may hurt quite a few companies. However, the government can help them transition into the production of other types of bottles such as stainless steel or glass water bottles which have less hazardous effects on the environment.

Cheers!
