describe the mutualistic relationship between trichonymphs, termite, and bacteria.
Solution
Trichonympha live in the gut of a termite and enable the termite to survive. As termites eat
wood. But they are unable to digest cellulose, which is major component in the wood. The
Trichonympha that live in the termite's gut feed on this cellulose. If not present then termites
would die of starvation. The Trichonympha in this way feed themselves.
Termites learned that a bacterium in their gut could help them break down the cellulose and
plant fibers that they eat .
