Answer:

fibrin

Explanation:

Fibrin is a protein that acts as a first response whenever your body is injured in order to play an important role in the blood clotting process. When any type of injury that causes blood leakage occurs and coagulation begins, an alert is then sent to the body to start producing fibrin.

In the form of long strands, each fibrin molecule intertwines to form a thin mesh around the lesion. As a result, this mesh stops the blood by capturing red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets, generating a clot and forming a kind of tampon at the injured site.

In summary, we can say that fibrin is a yarn-like protein that binds to platelets in blood clotting.

Obligate mutualism: It is defined as each organisms are obligated to each other, they rely on one another, means one species cannot survive without the other species. It may involve the interchange of resources, for example food, shelter, and nutrients or may interchange services like transportation, and protection.

Termites are mutualistic related to protozoa which lives inside the insects gut. Termite gets benefits from the bacterial symbiont ability which is present in the protozoa to digest the cellulose. The termites do not have this ability to do this, without the help of protozoa. They are not able to use their energy from the food which is wood, cellulose comes from wood it chews.

So, termites are mutualistic related to protozoans and showing obligate mutualism.
