What is the meaning of escherichia coli?
E. coli is the name of a species of bacteria that is adapted to living in the human intestines.
Cyanobacteria or alga living in tissues of fungus is an example of what?
symbiosis
Do scientists believe plants evolved directly from cellulose?
No. Cellulose is a substance, not a living thing. Plants evolved from algae that developed cell walls made of cellulose.
What part of speech is symbiosis?
Symbiosis is a noun. It refers to a relationship between living organisms of different species. The noun symbiote refers to an organism involved in a symbiotic relationship.
Is yogurt the food living or non living?
yes,yogurt is a living thing because it has bacteria and the bacteria is living.
What type of symbiotic a bacteria living in the testine of a cow to help it break down cellulose?
Yes! (is there more you need for this question?) "Symbiotic anaerobic bacteria" Cellulomonas is one such example.
What animals contain microbes that can break down cellulose?
Cows, horses, sheep, goats, and termites have bacteria living inside their intestinal tract. These bacteria can break down cellulose that is in grass and other plants.
What is the meaning of escherichia coli?

What kind of symbiotic relationship is bacteria living in a cow's stomachs help them break down the cellulose in grass?
Symbiotic.
Would you expect to find thermoacidophilic bacteria and enteric bacteria living in the same environment?
No you would not because thermoacidophilic bacteria live in extreme hot environments while enteric bacteria are found in areas such as human intestines
Is cellulose living material?
Cellulose is not a living material. This is because it is not made of cells and it is a sugar.
Why cellulose easily digested in animals?
Because there are bacteria living in our guts which produce the enzyme (called cellulase) necessary to break cellulose into smaller parts. Otherwise it would be indigestable, and come out the way it came in.
Can bacteria make you sick?
Yes many bacteria do cause diseases and infections and poisonings. However, there are also helpful bacteria like the ones living in your intestines that help you to digest food and obtain nutrients.
Are organs important?
Organisms are important because they are all living things. You are an organism, your pet is an oragnism, the bacteria in your intestines are all organisms.
How are organisms important?

How is the nitrogen cycle affected by desertification?
In the case of nitrogen-fixating bacteria or other microorganisms living in symbiosis with plants, if plants are removed so too will the microorganisms.
Why can termites digest wood?
To digest cellulose, organisms must produce the enzyme cellulase. Humans and termites are unable to produce cellulase themselves but termites have living in their gut simple organisms (protozoa and bacteria) which can produce the enzyme. This is an example of mutualism - a relationship between two species in which both organisms benefit. The protoza and bacteria benefit by receiving a constant supply of food (wood) from the termite. The termite benefits from the energy-rich sugar released from the cellulose by the termites. For more details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termite
