Question
Which protists show symbiotic relationships? How is this relation carried out?
✓
Answer
Zooflagellates like Trichonympha and Lophomonas live as a symbiont in the intestine of termites and wood roaches, respectively. They secrete cellulose digesting enzymes which convert cellulose into glucose. The digested food (glucose) is shared by both zooflagellates and the hosts.
