How does autotrophic bacteria get food?
They are grown on medium that contains the nutrient that they cannot synthesize
The is a pouch in the digestive tracks of some vertebrates which contains bacteria that can break down cellulose?
cecum
The Cecum contains microorganisms which digest cellulose.Why would the presence of these microorganisms be important in the process of digestion?
Herbivorous mammals don't secrete the enzymes required to digest cellulose. They sub-contract the work of cellulose digestion to guest bacteria. The bacteria are provided with a home and lots of food in exchange. Humans don't do this. We have no capacity to digest cellulose. The appendix is the remnant of the Caecum in the human.
What is the non-living material found in the cell walls?
The answer is cellulose. Cellulose is a long-chain polymeric polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-glucose . It forms the primary structural component of green plants. The primary cell wall of green plants is made primarily of cellulose; the secondary wall contains cellulose with variable amounts of lignin. Lignin and cellulose, considered together, are termed lignocellulose, which (as wood) is argued to be one of the most common biopolymers on Earth (chrysolaminarin is often argued to be the other). Only one group of animals, the tunicates, has the ability to create and use cellulose. Some acetic acid bacteria are also known to synthesize cellulose
Cellulose contains in which POLYMER?
Cellulose IS a polymer.
Which organisms can digest cellulose and how they are able to do this?
Micro-organisms, such as bacteria, are able to digest cellulose. No mammals are able to digest cellulose. This is because cellulose contains a β(1,4) linkage that no mammalian enzyme can break. This is why herbivores must have symbiotic bacteria somewhere in their digestive system that help them break down cellulose.
What is an item that contains cellulose and lignin?
Hemp.
Cows can derive nutrients from cellulose because?
their intestinal tract contains cellulose-hydrolyzing microorganisms
What is the cellulose material that should be a part of your diet?
The cell wall of plant cell is made up of cellulose. So green leafy vegetables have got most cellulose in it. Fruits also contains cellulose. Cellulose can not be digested by humans. that gives bulk to your feces.
Does cotton fiber contain starch?
no it contains cellulose
Do cows digest cellulose by using parasitic cellulose digesting bacteria?
Symbiotic, not parasitic. The cow has a 4 chamber stomach, one chamber called the rumen contains these bacteria. When the cow is chewing cud, she brings up partially digested grass, re-chews it, and swallows it again into a different chamber of the stomach.Without these symbiotic bacteria the cow could no live on grass, as the mammalian digestive system is unable to digest cellulose into glucose. The bacteria do this for the cow, while the cow gives them a safe place to live with plenty of food (much more than they need for their own use).
What kingdom contains bacteria?
The Monera Kingdom contains the true bacteria.
