Helo mr.marggraf :) this is the rest of the stuff you wanted me to post.
Symbiotic relationship: dissimilar organisms in a mutualy benificial relationship.
Here we are talking about termites and protozoa. Protozoa get a place to live and food to eat, the protozoa brake down the cellulose from wood and turn it in to acetate, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.
Termites get acetate, this is termites source of energy.
Our lab was pretty simple, first mr.marggraf gave us our termite, then we pulled its guts out. we placed the guts in a drop of saline solution on our microscope slide, then smooshed them a bit and looked at them (the guts).
my personal reflection: see previous posts :) (the most recent video)
