Complete Question:

Scientists hypothesize that the microscopic organisms inside a termite's gut are responsible for breaking down the wood that the termite eats. To support this hypothesis, research results should show that the microscopic organisms can produce which of the following?

A. ATP

B. polysaccharides

C. enzymes specific to cellulose

D. nucleic acids that are double-stranded

Correct Option:

To support this hypothesis, research results should show that the microscopic organisms can produce enzymes specific to cellulose.

Option: C

Explanation:

This hypothesis needs the microscopic organisms which are present in the termite's gut, due to them only breakdown of wood take place that termite's eat. But that microscopic organism must be potential enough to generate kind of enzymes which are specifically responsible for cellulose digestion.

Because wood have a complex carbohydrate's class known as polysaccharide, comprising of a linear chain of many 100 to several 1000 D-glucose units connected together by β linkage. Cellulose is an essential functional part of green plant's key cell wall. Cellulases are an enzyme that splits the cellulose molecule free into monosaccharides, i.e. basic sugars like β-glucose or smaller polysaccharides and oligosaccharides.

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
