Carnivores do not produce cellulase because their diets primarily consist of animal proteins and fats, which do not require the breakdown of cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. Their digestive systems are adapted to efficiently process meat, utilizing enzymes that target proteins and fats instead. In contrast, herbivores have developed cellulase to digest plant material, as cellulose is a significant component of their diet. Consequently, the evolutionary adaptations of carnivores have rendered cellulase production unnecessary.
What else can I help you with?
Which woodwind instruments do not use reeds to produce their sounds?
Flutes, i play flute and i dont need a reed
True or false second-level consumers maybe either carnivores or omnivores?
No, 2nd consumers are carnivores
Why are the second level consumers more likely to be affected by the insecticide than the first level carnivores?
I actually think differently, or that there is at least another answer. Keep in mind that the 2nd level carnivores eat the 1st level carnivores, where the 1st level carnivores may eat insects or plants. I think its a matter of adaptation. Those 1st level carnivores are, of course, adopted to eating insects (their prey) and being sprayed with an insecticide.... so it does not really affect them, 1st level carnivores. Yet, The 2nd level carnivores are not adopted to eat the insects, unlike the 1st level carnivores. That said, when the 2nd level carnivores are eating the 1st level carnivores, they are also undertaking/eating the insecticide that is found in the 1st level carnivore's digestive system. P.S. Its only when you eat the particular insect, that you get insecticide. The particular insect cannot just leave poison on a plant, or "infect a plant."
Are scorpions herbivores?
No, scorpions are carnivores.
Is a pengin a decomposer?
No. Penguins are carnivores.

Can you have a list of carnivores?
I dont can you?
How do you obtain cellulase?
Most cellulase is extracted from fungal plant parasites. You can buy small amounts of the enzyme in powdered form through Karlan, Inc. There is a company in Japan named Yakult Pharmaceuticals that sells bulk cellulase (and other plant-chewing enzymes) for laboratory use. Even with overseas shipping, they are much cheaper. Cellulase and other enzymes are used in the lab to make plant protoplasts by chewing away the cell wall.
Which animal produces less pepsin a herbivore or carnivore why?
Carnivores produce more pepsin than herbivores because they require stronger digestive enzymes to break down protein-rich animal tissues. Pepsin is an enzyme that helps digest proteins in the stomach, and since carnivores consume diets high in protein, they have adapted to produce more of it. In contrast, herbivores primarily consume plant material, which is generally lower in protein and may require different enzymes for digestion, such as cellulase for breaking down cellulose in plant cell walls.
Is cellulase a plant enzyme or an animal enzyme?
Cellulase is mainly produced by microorganisms like fungi and bacteria, not by plants or animals. Although animals, including termites and some ruminants, can host microorganisms that produce cellulase to help them digest cellulose-rich plant material.
Why do carnivores not have micro organisms in there guts to make cellulase?
Carnivores primarily rely on a diet of meat, which is rich in proteins and fats, and they have evolved digestive systems that are optimized for breaking down these nutrients rather than plant material. Unlike herbivores, which require cellulase to break down cellulose from plant cell walls, carnivores lack the necessary microorganisms in their guts due to their dietary needs and shorter digestive tracts. Their digestive enzymes are adapted to efficiently process animal tissues, making the presence of cellulose-degrading microorganisms unnecessary. This evolutionary adaptation reflects their niche as predators rather than herbivores.
Which fungi contain cellulase?
Acremonium cellulolyticus Aspergillus acculeatusAspergillus fumigatus Aspergillus niger Fusarium solani Irpex lacteus Penicillium funmiculosumPhanerochaete chrysosporium Schizophyllum commune Sclerotium rolfsii Sporotrichum cellulophilum Talaromyces emersonii Thielavia terrestris Trichoderma koningii Trichoderma reesei Trichoderma viride
Why is there no food chain without herbivores and carnivores?
herbivores dont matter. without carnivores no animals would be eaten
Why can't the human body break down cellulose?
The human body lacks the enzyme needed to break down cellulose, called cellulase. Cellulase is produced by certain microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoans, which help them digest cellulose in their diet. Since humans do not produce cellulase, we cannot directly break down cellulose for energy.
What are the reactants for cellulase?
It is Cellulose.
What is cellulase made of?
Cellulase is an enzyme made up of a complex of proteins that helps break down cellulose, a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls. It is produced by certain fungi, bacteria, and protozoans and is essential for the digestion of cellulose-rich materials.
What is the pH for cellulase?
pH 7
