What is the relationship between termites and intestinal flagellates?
The type of symbiotic relationship between termites and flagellates in their intestines is mutualism. The flagellates digest the cellulose in the termites' diet to allow them to absorb nutrients. The termite gut provides a safe place for the flagellates to live and breed.
Are Flagellates are found in fresh water?
Flagellates are found in fresh water as well as in salt water, sewage, and stagnant water.
Are flagellates found inside the body?
yep...
What desert are termites found in?
Termites are found in all deserts except for Antarctica.
Do flagellates living in symbiosis always harm the animal they live in?
False. Why? Because here's an example. One type of Flagellate lives in the intestines of termites. There, they digest the wood that the termites eat, producing sugars for themselves and for the termites. In turn, the termites protect the protozoans.

What characteristic is seen in the zooflagellates that live in lakes and streams?
Flagellates are single-celled protists with one or more flagella, whip-like organelles often used for propulsion. The flagella is used for movement through the liquid. Flagellates are protozoa that are found in the group Mastigophora. Some types of flagellates commonly found in wastewater are Euglena, Trigonomonas, and Monas. Recently flagellates were divided into additional categories-plant-like Phytomastigophora and Zoomastigophora. Like their relatives the amoebae, flagellates are usually present when there are large amounts of soluble food available (high F:M or high BOD). They are found during start up when the sludge is young or after an upset, but will quickly predominate over the amoebae because they are more efficient feeders. They are often found in trickling filter, oxidation ponds, lagoons and activated sludge. Flagellates may have one or two flagella or whips for locomotion. Flagellates can be color-less or green.

Compare and contrast diatoms and dinoflagellates?
zooflagellates are more animal-like flagellates (eg, triconympha that live in the digestive tract of termites), and dinoflagellates are more plant-like flagellates (phytoflagellates) - Autotrophic organisms.
What protists move by means of a whip liked tail?
flagellates
Hunter found some termites in a wooden board sitting in his backyard so he sprayed some insecticide on the board to kill the termites Hunter noticed that about 95 percent of the termites died but 5?
The living termites had genes that the dead termites did not have.
