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.

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.

In developed nations, which nutrients are most apt to be lacking in a child's diet?
yKpoI14uk [10]
I believe that in developed nations, the nutrients that are most lacking in a child's diet are the; calcium, iron and zinc. Zinc is needed for the activity of more than 100 different enzymes in the body and plays a role in the immune function. It aids in the maintenance of healthy immune function in kids and may reduce the frequency of mild upper respiratory tract infections. Calcium keeps the bones healthy and teeth thus supporting the skeletal structure and function. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin.

In the initial days of pregnancy, a woman often feels no symptoms at all. Women with ectopic pregnancies often
tatiyna

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

The initial days and even weeks of pregnancy may happen without a woman being aware of the pregnancy. Even though the baby grows quickly, it starts out as just a fertilized egg. So it takes a while to be noticed. And there is plenty of room at first.

But with an ectopic pregnancy, the baby attaches, instead of in the uterus, outside of the uterus. In most cases, the baby attaches inside the fallopian tube. Outside of the uterus is not designed to provide support and space for the baby. As growth occurs, it can cause severe problems. This is dangerous and can cause bleeding, pain, and possibly shock of the woman's condition is not identified and treated.  

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day!! :-)
