The relationship between the termites and the microbes is a mutualism, because both species benefit from the relationship. The termites masticate the wood to mechanically break it down, and the microbes chemically digest the wood into smaller molecules that the termites are able to absorb and utilize.

Answer: Microbes in the hindgut of a termite break down cellulose into more easily digested sugars and short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are taken into the cells of the termite and used as nourishment in the same way human cells take in nutrients processed by our digestive system.

What are the effects that enzymes can have on substrates
Burka [1]
In chemical reactions involving enzymes, the substrate proteins are huge molecules that will only react with each other if they're aligned just the right way. If they are permitted to interact with the enzymes present, the won't collide and react often enough for the reaction to do any good.The enzymes align the molecules, basically acting like "molecule shepherds," showing them the way they need to react.This speeds up the reaction greatly, making things like digestion possible. Hope this is helpful
