Mutualism - both the bacteria and the cow benefit from this relationship. The bacteria help break down cellulose in the cow's intestines, providing nutrients for both the bacteria and the cow.
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.
No, cellulose is not an enzyme. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants, while enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms.
Symbiosis is the permanent close association between two or more organisms of different species. It can involve mutual benefit (mutualism), one organism benefiting at the expense of the other (parasitism), or one organism living on or in another without harming it (commensalism).
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. While most strains of E. coli are harmless, some can cause illnesses such as diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and food poisoning. In scientific research, E. coli is often used as a model organism.
Cellulose, which is found in wood, is considered organic because it is derived from living matter. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, which are the building blocks of organic compounds.
Yes! (is there more you need for this question?) "Symbiotic anaerobic bacteria" Cellulomonas is one such example.
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.
Symbiotic.
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.
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.
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.

No, cellulose is not a living material. It is a complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plants and is produced by living organisms, but once it is formed, it is not considered to be living.
In the case of nitrogen-fixating bacteria or other microorganisms living in symbiosis with plants, if plants are removed so too will the microorganisms.
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
Bacteria grows everywhere. There is even bacteria growing inside you, mainly in your mouth and your intestines. But your body, and most other living things, have ways of stopping the bacteria from overrunning them. Dead things do not, so bacteria can survive and reproduce as much as they want.
