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.
The flagellates and termites share a commensal association.
E.
The flagellates and termites share a facultative parasitic association.

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.

How do proteins and fats provide energy for the human body?
pickupchik [31]
Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids. Protein can also be used for energy, but the first job is to help with making hormones, muscle, and other proteins. Broken down into glucose, used to supply energy to cells. Extra is stored in the liver.

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits the nucleus in a<br> clear, defined path.
Alex777 [14]

FALSE

In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits around the nucleus is NOT in a clear, defined path.

Explanation:

According to modern atomic models, like the Bohr theory, it is difficult to know the exact location and path of an electron around the nucleus. This is partly because the mere act of observing the electrons changes its position. This is because the electrons have negligible mass and therefore ‘hitting’ them with any form of radiation for ‘illumination’ changes its position, behavior, and properties. In addition, the movement of electrons is very rapid such that by the time one observes the instantaneous location of an electron, if it was possible, it will have changed its position.

Therefore modern theories, such as VSPER, model atoms based on properties of where an electron will highly likely be found. This is how the shells and subshells of electrons (s, p, d, f) are modeled.
