Moldarrow_forwardOne organism found in a termite’s gut is Mixotrichia paradoxa. This strange creature looks like a single-celled swimming ciliate under low magnification. However, the electron microscope reveals that it contains spherical bacteria rather than mitochondria and has on its surface, rather than cilia, hundreads and thousands of spirilla and bacilla bacteria. You are the scientists who first observed this organism. How would you describe this organism- single-celled? Aggregate? Colony? Multicellular?

The group noted a steady decline in the population of animals, while bacteria and other protists remained constant. Which statement best discusses the reasons for the steady decline of animals as opposed to the protists? A. Bacterial growth is usually not affected by environmental changes because of asexual reproduction. B. The animals could not adapt to the new environment. C.
