The average apparent digestibilities of dietary constituents were: dry matter 54%; total cell-contents 69%; available carbohydrate 92%; crude lipid 43%; total nitrogen 45%; total phenolics 91%; total cell walls 25%; hemicellulose 24%; acid-detergent fibre 25%; cellulose 31%; lignin 19%.
Average digestible and metabolizable energy intakes were 0.50 and 0.43 MJ kg-0.75 d-1 respectively of which only 0.28 MJ kg-0.75 d-1 was expended in oxidative metabolism. The digestible energy intake required for maintenance was estimated to be 0.33 MJ kg-0.75 d-1, which is lower than that of eutherian and of other marsupial herbivores. The principal sources of metabolizable energy were non-structural carbohydrate and lipid.
It is postulated that the ability of koalas to utilizeEucalyptus foliage as a sole source of nutrients is facilitated by their low requirement for energy and their ability to maximize intake of non cell-wall constituents.E. punctatafoliage has a high digestible energy content compared with the foliage of many other trees and this may be a factor in its selection by koalas.
digestion is when u break dowm muloucles in your styomach and chewing is makeing the food smaller for digestion
Lysosomes's role in metabolism is digestion.
no, there is not much of a difference.
Heterotrophs- digestion occurs inside the body. Saprotrophs- digestion occurs outside of body.
They involve in digestion.
That's just called chewing.
Medical digestion is the physical process of breaking down food Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down food by chemical enzyme.
No. Diarrhea does not have any effect on metabolism. Metabolism is usually determined by the amount of muscle mass you have.
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
cause it just is different!(:
Digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. The liver helps via metabolism of nutrients (but not by digestion).
i like chicken
With a fast metabolism you burn fat faster and with a slow metabolism you burn fat slower. It's good to have a fast one because you don't have to watch what you eat as much.
