The average apparent digestibilities of dietary constituents were: dry matter 54%; total cell-contents 69%; available carbohydrate 92%; crude lipid 43%; total nitrogen 45%; total phenolics 91%; total cell walls 25%; hemicellulose 24%; acid-detergent fibre 25%; cellulose 31%; lignin 19%.
Average digestible and metabolizable energy intakes were 0.50 and 0.43 MJ kg-0.75 d-1 respectively of which only 0.28 MJ kg-0.75 d-1 was expended in oxidative metabolism. The digestible energy intake required for maintenance was estimated to be 0.33 MJ kg-0.75 d-1, which is lower than that of eutherian and of other marsupial herbivores. The principal sources of metabolizable energy were non-structural carbohydrate and lipid.
It is postulated that the ability of koalas to utilizeEucalyptus foliage as a sole source of nutrients is facilitated by their low requirement for energy and their ability to maximize intake of non cell-wall constituents.E. punctatafoliage has a high digestible energy content compared with the foliage of many other trees and this may be a factor in its selection by koalas.
no, there is not much of a difference.
Heterotrophs- digestion occurs inside the body. Saprotrophs- digestion occurs outside of body.
That's just called chewing.
They involve in digestion.
Medical digestion is the physical process of breaking down food Chemical digestion is the process of breaking down food by chemical enzyme.
Lysosomes are not directly involved in metabolism. They primarily function in digestion and waste removal within cells by breaking down unwanted materials, such as cellular debris or foreign particles, into simpler components for recycling or excretion. Metabolism involves a series of chemical reactions that occur in organelles like the mitochondria, not in lysosomes.
No. Diarrhea does not have any effect on metabolism. Metabolism is usually determined by the amount of muscle mass you have.
cause it just is different!(:
Degradation and some oxidation to smaller molecules
i like chicken
Drinking water in the morning can help kickstart your metabolism by hydrating your body and aiding in the digestion process, but it is not a direct cause of boosting metabolism.
Digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. The liver helps via metabolism of nutrients (but not by digestion).
