no they feel cold! THEY SLEEP IN WINTERS
Dead wood.
cellulase enzymes
no they only eat through wood
They eat wood, not dead animal.
There are tiny organisms inside a termite, protozoa, that eat it. The product of that is edible by both the protozoa and the termite.
Besides wood, termites eat paper, cloth and carpets.
Definitely not. Termites only eat wood, and nothing else.
due to presence of resin quantity it should be toxic for termite and its difficults for them to feed on gurjan wood...
I think red fire ants, but I think it could be a termite.
no thay cant digest plastic thay also cant digest wood they have bacteria in there stomachs that digests it for them
mutualism is when 2 organisms benefit from each other. the termite benefits from the Trychonympha because the Trychonympha breaks down the CELLULOSE in the wood that the termites eat, which helps the digestive system "clear out". The Trychonympha benefits from the termite because the Trychonympha gets CELLULASE from the termite, which is the thing in the Trychonympha that actually does the "breaking down" of the cellulose. Without eachother, they wouldn't be able to survive.
Termites will eat any type of wood, as long as the wood is dead. You can get special termite treated wood that they will not eat, ask at your local timber supplier, most of them will probably have to order it in.
