Why human cannot consumes grass to obtain much protein but animals consume?
Humans lack the necessary enzymes to break down and digest the cellulose in grass, which makes up the majority of its structure. Additionally, grass does not contain a high enough concentration of protein to sustain human dietary needs. Animals, on the other hand, have evolved to have the necessary enzymes and digestive systems to break down and extract nutrition from grass. Many herbivorous animals, such as cows and sheep, have complex stomachs that allow them to ferment and extract nutrients from grass.

Why is Trychonmpha important to termites?
no animal is capable of digesting cellulose which is a plant product. Why because no enzymes to digest the cellulose are present in the animals digestive system. So termites adopt the tryconympha in their digestive system. In us also, most of the plant material we eat is not digested. In animals like cows and buffaloes, the grass is soaked in the water in the stomach so as to make digestion of cellulose easy for microorganisms inside the intestine.
