Yes, but in the form of a parasitic infection
it breaks down the cellulose in the wood and plant fibers; it eats the wood and plant fibers
No, hamsters only live about 3 to 4 years.
An example of a symbiotic association involving a protozoan is the relationship between termites and the protozoan Trichonympha. In this association, Trichonympha lives in the guts of termites and helps them digest cellulose from wood, which the termites cannot break down on their own. In return, the protozoan receives a nutrient-rich environment and access to food. This mutualistic relationship benefits both organisms, showcasing a symbiotic association.
Elephants are like humans. They have a long life expectancy like humans. Elephants in the wild are known to live an average of 50 to 70 years. Some domesticated elephants have known to live upto the age of 80 years too. They probably live the longest among all mammals (excluding humans).
Because everyday is mystery to live on!
A termite is the only insect that can digest wood cellulose... The reason they can do this is the trichonympha live inside the termites and they are what breaks the wood down making it digestible.
A termite is the only insect that can digest wood cellulose... The reason they can do this is the trichonympha live inside the termites and they are what breaks the wood down making it digestible. So in short they would not be able to digest their food.
The protist that lives in the gut of termites is the Trichonympha sp.
no
Yes, Trichonympha is a unicellular organism. It is a type of flagellated protist that lives symbiotically in the intestines of termites and aids in the digestion of cellulose.
Trichonympha is a type of protist that lives in the gut of termites and helps them digest wood. It is not harmful to the termite and is actually a beneficial symbiotic relationship.
Heterotrophic
Trichonympha is a genus of flagellate protozoa found in the kingdom Protista. They are anaerobic organisms typically found in the digestive systems of termites where they help digest cellulose.

Saline solution is used instead of water when studying trichonympha because it closely mimics the natural environment of these protists, which typically live in the gut of termites. Using saline solution helps maintain the proper physiological conditions for trichonympha, such as osmotic balance and pH, promoting their survival and enabling researchers to study their behavior and biology more accurately.
yes, it does not have a cell wall, and it is a heterotroph
Trichonympha moves by using its multiple flagella to propel itself through water. These hair-like structures help it to swim and navigate its environment in search of food sources like wood particles in the termite gut.
