How to absorb glucose from cellulose?
glucose can't be absorbed from cellulose,as its a polymer,so cellulose is more stable compound,,if u can get the bacteria which is found in cow's stomach gut, u can converte your cellulose to glucose.
Do Ruminant animals have a four-chambered stomach and have cellulose-producing microbes in their rumens?
Ruminant animals have 4 stomachs but the microbed don't produce cellulose, they break it down.
Does the animal gain glucose from a plant it is eating?
Yes and no. Plants do make glucose but only very few plants actually store sugar (glucose) as sugar. They usually convert it to starch or cellulose. Thus a bee will get sugar from the nectar of a plant it is feeding on but a sheep eating grass has to process the cellulose in the grass to get nutrients from it. It can not do this itself so it has to get microbes and bacteria in its stomach to ferment the chewed up plants. It then digests these microbes which form its nutrient source. Thus the plant (the producer) is the source of energy in both cases.
What does the stomach contain to defend your body against microbes?
The stomach contains acids that defend your body against microbes. Most of these microbes are destroyed once they are digested and enter into the acidic stomach.
Why is it important to keep pure strain microbes?
stomach
What does the stomach do to defend against microbes?
The stomach defends against microbes by secreting digestive enzymes and acid that can kill many harmful pathogens. Additionally, the stomach's lining has a protective layer of mucous that helps prevent microbes from invading the stomach tissue. The acidic environment also helps to break down food to make it less hospitable for microbial growth.
Why are ruminant able to digest cellulose?
Actually ruminants cannot digest cellulose, they have symbiotic bacteria in a part of their stomach called a "rumen" digest the cellulose down to sugars and starches that the ruminants can actually digest in another part of their stomach later.
What two reasons that the acid in your stomach is beneficial?
It aids in digestionIt protect us from some microbes that are pathogens. Some disease causing microbes are present in contaminated or food that are not properly treated. The acid pH of the stomach kills those microbes and protect us from disease.
What diseases do the microbes of clostridium botulinum cause?
it causes stomach problems
Does acid in the stomach kill germs?
Stomach acid kills some germs, or microbes, but there are some, like Helicobacter pyloris, that do just fine in stomach acid.
How can immunisation stop people catching diseases?
your stomach acids fight it off and they kill the microbes. in a way this is good and bad because if it kills the bad microbes then it kills the good microbes in our body aswell!
What micro-organisms digest cellulose in this modified part of the stomach?
Functional caecum
