Grass itself cannot eat bacteria in the way animals consume food. However, grass can absorb nutrients from the soil, where bacteria play a significant role in breaking down organic matter and making nutrients available. Some grasses may also have symbiotic relationships with certain bacteria that enhance nutrient uptake, particularly nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Thus, while grass doesn't "eat" bacteria, it can benefit from their presence in the soil ecosystem.

Do hares eat cud?

No. Only ungulates (cattle, antelop, deer) eat cud. Basically, they eat grass, but they cannot digest grass (no mammals can.) So they developed a system of outsourcing the job to somebody else. They have symbiotic bacteria in a big pouch in their stomach. When they eat grass, the grass goes into the pouch. The bacteria eat the grass and multiplies enormously. Then the ungulates would belch out the lump of bacteria and chew it again. That is cud. It is high-protein, rich in minerals and very good food. Rabbits simply do not have symbiotic bacteria pouch in their stomach, so they do not eat cud. Interestingly, the Bible (Levictus) wrongly described that rabbits chew cud.

Why the COWS eat grass but it strong and big?

Cows eat grass. The grass goes into their first stomach (the rumen), where it is digested by bacteria. Bacteria give off gasses (called vfa's or volatile fatty acids). These vfa's get absorbed through the cow's stomach wall into the blood supply, which gives the cows energy to grow big and stong.


Do mosses algae and grass get their energy from bacteria or mushroom?

Mosses and grass obtain their energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. Algae also perform photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight to produce energy. Bacteria and mushrooms do not directly provide energy to these organisms.


What plants do bacteria eat?

Bacteria can eat a variety of plants, including cellulose-rich materials like grass, leaves, and wood. Some bacteria can also consume sugars or starches produced by plants as part of their metabolic processes. Each species of bacteria has specific preferences for the types of plant material they can break down and use as a food source.
