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 mutualism. obligate antagonism. facultative mutualism. facultative antagonism. None of the answer options is correct.

Answer:

Obligate mutualism.

Explanation:

Obligate mutualism: It is defined as each organisms are obligated to each other, they rely on one another, means one species cannot survive without the other species. It may involve the interchange of resources, for example food, shelter, and nutrients or may interchange services like transportation, and protection.

Termites are mutualistic related to protozoa which lives inside the insects gut. Termite gets benefits from the bacterial symbiont ability which is present in the protozoa to digest the cellulose. The termites do not have this ability to do this, without the help of protozoa. They are not able to use their energy from the food which is wood, cellulose comes from wood it chews.

So, termites are mutualistic related to protozoans and showing obligate mutualism.

In phase-contrast microscopy, the differences in refractive indices between organisms and their environments are utilized for be
mina [271]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In  phase-contrast objective and a phase contrast optical systems is equipped with Light microscope  .

Phase contrast microscope is used to differentiate unstained structures in a cell  that differ in refractive indices and thickness. Thus it is usefull for examining  living unstained organisms.

Light that passed through materials of different refractive index and/or thickness will undergo a change in Phase. The difference in phase or wave front irregularities cause variation in brightness of the structures.

Hoping this might help!!!
