Termites Attack !!!

What is termites? Termite is a type of insect..it looks like ant but white in colour. The fragellated protozoa called Trichonympha sp. lives freely in mutualism in the alimentary canals of termites. The protozoa secretes the enzyme cellulase to digest the cellulose into simple sugars which is then absorbed by the termite. The protozoa enables the termite to digest cellulose which is found on the wood it feed on.

Today my dad found some termites on our kitchen...some part of the roof which made from wood already eaten by them...hope my house won't collapse @@
