All the listed biological factors can contribute to the deterioration of cellulose-based materials like paper, though their primary modes of action may differ. Termites feed on cellulose directly. Silverfish chew on paper fibers, often targeting starch-based adhesives. Psocids (booklice) feed on mold and fungi, but can also ingest paper fibers. Fungi are major decomposers of cellulose, breaking it down through enzymatic action.
Which of the following biological factor for deterioration is responsible for decomposition of cellulose? - (1) Termites - (2) Silverfish - (3) Psocids - (4) Fungi - (5) Question not attempted
