Symbiosis is where two unlike and dissimilar organisms in a long-term beneficial relationship.

The termite who chews up the wood goes down their esophagus and into the stomach. Where the dwelling protozoans eat away at the cellulose of the wood and excrete gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen and also acetate which the termites digest, and the protozoa in the process receive a home in the termite's gut.

We first set up the microscope and the zoom to 40x for optimal efficiency. Take forceps and held a termite down before taking the tip of the termite's abdomen and pulling out the guts inside. Finally placing the guts into 2 drops of saline solution which will be on the microscope slide that will be pressed against a cover slip. Placing and setting them firmly under the microscope lens and observe.

I would say the lab we had done turned out extremely well, especially the results which find out the termite we used to experiment were completely packed like tuna of protozoans. Almost impossible to differ ones from another, overall thought the lab turned out well with exceptional results with my teammates, Max & Richard. The lab was a lot of fun!

WOOT GO SCIENCE!
