Flagellates are microbes that have a rod-shaped flagellum that helps with their locomotion. Certain flagellates reside inside te

rmites. These flagellates provide enzymes for the termites to digest cellulose, which helps them survive. In turn, the termites provide nourishment to these flagellates. Termites need cellulose for their survival, and flagellates obtain nutrition only from termites. Which statement can be true about the association between these microbes and termites?
A.
The flagellates share a facultative mutualistic association with the termites.
B.
The flagellates and termites share an obligate mutualistic association.
C.
The flagellates share an obligate parasitic association with the termites.
D.

Answer:

B.

The flagellates and termites share an obligate mutualistic association

Explanation:

Organisms of same or different species tend to interact with one another in an ecosystem. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. A type of symbiotic relationship is MUTUALISM, which is when both organisms benefits from the relationship.

However, mutualistic relationship can be of different types depending on how dependent the involved organisms are on each other. The example in this question illustrates OBLIGATE MUTUALISM, which is when the organisms involved in the mutualistic relationship depend on one another for survival. This is the case of the termites and the flaggelates where the termite depends on the flaggelate for enzymes that helps them digest cellulose while the flaggelates depend on termite for nourishment/food.

The termite will not survive if it doesn't get enzymes to digest its cellulose while the flaggelates will also not survive if they do not get nourished. Hence, the two organisms share an OBLIGATE MUTUALISTIC RELATIONSHIP.

Would the surface temperature of white dwarf stars be higher or lower than red supergiants?
Liula [17]
The surface temperature of white dwarf stars is higher than that of red super giants. White dwarf stars are extremely hot when they form, and they start cooling off as time goes by. Red supergiants, on the other hand, are enormous dying stars, and they are quite cool. So, having this in mind, white dwarves are hotter than red supergiants. Hope I helped! :) If it’s wrong then I’m sorry!

How have the factors that trigger an asthma attack changed since the 1900s? As a researcher, how would you put together the clue
eduard

so if you look up things that can cause an asthma attack it will also show that viruses and bacteria are a cause. with asthma you lungs could already be inflamed as well as your air way wich makes it harder to breath. when you have c-19 it will inflame your lungs even more so it makes it even harder to breath given an asthma attack. more asthma attack now are probably caused by c-19 because it is all over the place and the percent of asthma attack by virus has dramatically increased.
