Answer:

Termites have cellulose-digesting protists in their guts.

Explanation:

Termites are able to access nutrients contained in cellulose due to their mutualistic association with some cellulose-digesting protists such as <em>Trichonympha</em> and M<em>ixotricha</em>. The protists produce cellulase in addition to other glycolytic enzymes that work together to convert cellulose to malate.

The malate produced is further metabolized to produce CO_2, hydrogen, acetate and energy in the form of ATP.

The protists get sheltered in the termite's gut in return.

Cilia and flagella are very similar  in structure with the difference in their length (cilia-short flagella-long and how many of them are found on cells (cells  usually have hundreds of cilia while cells with flagella usually only have one or two of them). Pseudopodia is a cytoplasmic extension with the same function as cilia and flagella.
