We think of termites as insects that eat wood. However, termites cannot digest the wood and rely on a variety of eukaryotic and

prokaryotic gut microbes to digest cellulose. Without the microbes, the termites will still ingest wood but will starve. This, then, is an example of a(n); obligate antagonism. facultative antagonism. None of the answer options is correct. obligate mutualism. facultative mutualism.

Answer:

Obligate Mutualism

Explanation:

Living organisms tend to be involved in relationships with one another. This question is one of those ecological relationships, specifically, mutualistic relationship because both organisms benefit from one another. According to the question, the termite feeds on wood containing cellulose. The microbes present in their guts help them to digest this cellulose and in turn the termites provide shelter and food source for the decomposers/microbes.

This relationship is further described as OBLIGATE because the termite is strictly dependent on the microbe to survive. The termite does not have the ability to digest the main components of wood called CELLULOSE, which it ingests. Hence, the microbe is strictly needed by the termite. This mutualistic relationship is a dire need by one or both organisms in order to survive. Therefore, it is an OBLIGATE MUTUALISM.

In 2009, h1n1 flu caused many cases of flu around the world. Research how h1n1 flu differs from the 1918-1919 flu.
RUDIKE [14]
Flu (influenza) viruses are divided into four broad categories: influenza A, B, C or D. Influenza A is the most common type. H1N1 flu is a subtype of influenza A.

Subtypes of influenza A are categorized based on two proteins on the surface of the virus, hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are many H and N subtypes, and each one is numbered. All H and N flu subtypes are influenza A viruses.

Each influenza subtype has many different strains of influenza virus. Not all strains infect people. Subtypes of influenza A viruses currently found in people are strains of H1N1 and H3N2. Each year's flu vaccine includes varieties of both of these strains and influenza B.
