Answer and Explanation:

In an ecosystem, the loss of energy to the surrounding environment results in an increase in entropy. In a living organism, much of this energy is lost in respiration, defecation, excretion and decomposition.Therefore, much less energy is available for organisms at higher trophic levels.Cells which are highly ordered have low entropy. In the process of maintaining order, some energy is lost to the surroundings. The processes performed to maintain that order result in an increase in entropy in the organism's surroundings. The transfer of energy causes overall increase in entropy in the universe.

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

Black_prince [1.1K]

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.

Match the reproductive structures based on their function and the system to which they belong.

Rashid [163]

Complete question: Find the complete question in the attached file below.

Answer: From the question, the system to which the structures belong are:

Female reproductive structures include: Egg, ovary, fallopian tube, vagina.

Male reproductive structures include: Urethra, sperm, testis, Vas deferens

Explanation:

The female reproductive system is made up of structures, listed above, which functions together with the purpose of reproducing offsprings. Below is the structure matched with the correct function from the question given:

--> Egg: This functions as the sex cell or gamete

--> ovary: The site where gamete are produced

--> Fallopian tube: This functions to transport the gamete from the site of production in the reproductive system

--> Vagina: connects the internal reproductive fluids to the exterior.

The male reproductive system are also made up of structures that functions together to bring about the fertilization of the female sex cell. Below is the structure matched with the correct function from the question given:

--> Urethra: connects the internal reproductive fluids to the exterior.

--> Sperm:This functions as the sex cell or gamete

--> Testis: The site where gamete are produced

--> Vas deferens: This functions to transport the gamete from the site of production in the reproductive system.
