With what species does the termite have a mutualistic relationship?
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.
Why can termites digest wood?
To digest cellulose, organisms must produce the enzyme cellulase. Humans and termites are unable to produce cellulase themselves but termites have living in their gut simple organisms (protozoa and bacteria) which can produce the enzyme. This is an example of mutualism - a relationship between two species in which both organisms benefit. The protoza and bacteria benefit by receiving a constant supply of food (wood) from the termite. The termite benefits from the energy-rich sugar released from the cellulose by the termites. For more details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termite
What are the signs of termite activity in a home, particularly in relation to the presence of termite tunnels on walls?
Signs of termite activity in a home include mud tubes or tunnels on walls, floors, or ceilings. These tunnels are typically made of soil and termite saliva, and serve as protective pathways for termites to travel between their nest and food sources. If you notice these tunnels, it may indicate a termite infestation in your home.
