Complex specialized flagellates living symbiotically in the gut of termites are___________?
Correct answer: A. Trichonymphas
- A. Trichonymphas
- B. Trypanosoma
- C. Euglena
- D. Radiolarians
Explanation
Trichonympha are complex flagellated protists that live symbiotically in the intestines of termites, where they help digest cellulose. Students may choose Euglena because it is also a flagellate, but Euglena is free-living and photosynthetic or mixotrophic rather than a termite-gut symbiont. The submitted key matches.
