How is mammalian digestion more efficient than the type of digestion seen in bacteria?

it is more efficient because we are able to break down the food particles to increase surface area exposed to enzymes before hydrolysis

How is the inside of a frog's stomach different to the outside?
increased surface area which allows for more efficient digestion
Which is more efficient mono gastric or ruminant digestion?
the monogastric as it can digest all types of food
Why is mechanical digestion important for chemical. Digestion?
Mechanical digestion chops the food in to smaller pieces, thus exposing more of it to the enzymes of the chemical digestion.Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth by the teeth, tongue and saliva. Mechanical digestion is important for chemical digestion because when food is broken down into smaller particles by mechanical means, chemical digestion will be more efficient.
Which is more efficient - cow or horse digestion?
Both are equally efficient. Since they are two different systems designed for two different animals there is no point in comparing them.
How do symbiotic interactions impact digestion?
There are symbiotic relationships between animals and bacteria in the digestive area. The animals give the bacteria a place to live and the bacteria help break down food. Digestion would be a lot more difficult without these symbiotic relationships.
What Species of bacteria can evolve more quickly than species of mammals because bacteria have?
Most bacteria evolve quickly (in relation to mammalian evolution) because their reproductive cycle is much shorter than "higher" life forms.
Will sour milk harm septic tanks?
No. The digestion of solids in the septic tank is done by bacteria. Adding more bacteria like Lactobacillus will not hurt.
Is your digestive track home to trillions of bacteria?
Yes they are!! In fact we are more organisms than human cells if you count the number of cells. Bacteria reside in the gut responsible for the digestion of many food nutrients we consume. some enzymes what we do not have is presenting in bacteria!Yes, it is.
Does bile help digest carbohydrates and proteins?
No it does not. It only emulsifies fats, creating a greater total surface area for more efficient digestion by enzymes such as lipase.
What is the comparative for efficient?
More efficient and most efficient are the comparative and superlative forms of "efficient".
Does having more stomachs make an animal's digestion more efficient?
Yes. They do Because animals digestive system is slower than humans. Yes. They do Because animals digestive system is slower than humans.
Why is mechanical digestion important for proper chemical digestion?
Mechanical digestion chops the food in to smaller pieces, thus exposing more of it to the enzymes of the chemical digestion.Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth by the teeth, tongue and saliva. Mechanical digestion is important for chemical digestion because when food is broken down into smaller particles by mechanical means, chemical digestion will be more efficient.
