No such pest as timmit, I assume you mean termite. Common insect that digests cellulose (wood)
They eat cellulose found in wood, grass, some plants.
A termite is the only insect that can digest wood cellulose... The reason they can do this is the trichonympha live inside the termites and they are what breaks the wood down making it digestible.
Cellulose is organic.
Termites eat cellulose. Wood is made of cellulose so termites eat wood.
that would depend on which insect you are trying to feed
No !
Timberman beetles primarily feed on the wood of various trees, particularly conifers and hardwoods. They consume the cellulose in the wood, which they break down with the help of symbiotic microorganisms in their digestive systems. The larvae often burrow into the wood, creating tunnels as they feed, while adults may also feed on the bark.
cellulose +humicellulose+ligin=wood
Yes. Wood is largely composed of cellulose. Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula C6H10O5. As you may note, oxygen is a major component of cellulose.
Wood is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose provides strength and rigidity to the wood fibers, while hemicellulose helps bind cellulose fibers together. Lignin acts as a natural glue that provides structural support to the wood.
Wood is composed mostly of cellulose and lignin, in the form of fibers, and it comes from plants (trees or possibly shrubbery). Those are the defining characteristics of wood.
