Animals cannot produce enzymes to digest cellulose, yet many termite species consume cellulose from plant material as a main par

t of their diet. how do termites access the nutrients contained in cellulose? animals cannot produce enzymes to digest cellulose, yet many termite species consume cellulose from plant material as a main part of their diet. how do termites access the nutrients contained in cellulose? termites have specialized mouthparts to mechanically break down the cellulose. the ingested plant material also contains enzymes for cellulose digestion. cellulose is digested intracellularly in the termite hindgut. mutualistic bacteria in the hindgut of the termite digest the cellulose into sugars.

The correct answer is mutualistic bacteria in the hindgut of the termite digest the cellulose into sugars.  
<span>
Termites depend upon the whole complex of microbes in their hindgut. Microbes inside the termites help the breakage of the complex sugars like a cellulose into short-chain fatty acids.</span>

A woman who is a carrier for #1 hemophilia and a man that does not have the
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A woman who is a carrier for #1 hemophilia and a man that does not have the condition have children. What is the probability that they will have a child with the condition being studied? What is the gender of that child?

if the baby gets the Y chromosome from the father it will be a boy. If the boy gets his mother's X chromosome with the hemophilia gene he will have hemophilia. If he inherits his mother's other X chromosome, he will have normal blood clotting. If the baby gets the X chromosome from the father it will be a girl.

#4 A woman that is heterozygous for type A blood and a man that is heterozygous for type B blood have children. What are the possible blood types of their children?

One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.

#5 Two people are both unknowingly carriers for the cystic fibrosis gene. What is the probability that they will have children with cystic fibrosis?

If both parents are carriers there is a 1 in 4 (25 percent) chance that both will pass on the non-functioning gene, which would result in a pregnancy affected with cystic fibrosis.

#3 A woman that is heterozygous for Huntington's disease and a man that does not have the condition have children . What is the probability that their children inherit the Huntington's gene ?

Huntington's disease (HD) is what is called a dominant genetic disease. What this usually means is that a child only has a chance of getting a disease like this if a parent has it too. But parents without HD can have a child with HD. This is true of any dominant genetic disease

Explain how the transport of molecules such as sucrose can be coupled to the activity of an ion exchange pump
Greeley [361]

Coupled transport is also known as co-transport. Plant cells use the hydrogen gradient created by proton pumps to actively transport nutrients to the cells. Electrogenic pumps can be coupled to actively transport other substances. Example- cells pump H+ ions out of cell then use the diffusion of H+ back into cell down its gradient to drive the uptake of sucrose into cells.
