Termites are insects that chew on wood. based on a termites diet, which of the following statements would you expect to be true about its digestive system? a.) the termite's digestive tract produces fast-acting meat-digesting enzymes. b.) the termite has flattened molars that grind wood. c.) the termite has a jaw bone and muscles that are adapted for side-to-side grinding movements. d.) the termite has a symbiotic relationship with cellulose-digesting microorganisms in its digestive tract

d.) The termite has a symbiotic relationship with cellulose-digesting microorganisms in its digestive tract.

Explanation:

Termites are the wood eating parasites. They eat wood to meet their nutritional demands. Although there are enzymes present inside the termites which can partially digest the cellulose. But they exhibit a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria present in their gut. The bacteria helps in digestion of rest of the cellulose. In return the bacteria receives shelter and food.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
