give reason : humans cannot digest cellose . please answer in short
Answers
Answer:
Termites have mastigophorans (microbes) in their gut which brings about digestion of cellulose. Herbivorous animals, on the other hand, are ruminants. They have different compartments in their stomach to carry out digestion.
The rumen is the first compartment where ingested food containing cellulose is stored temporarily and later regurgitated to chew their cud. They are able to digest cellulose because of the presence of bacteria and enzymes in the rumen where anaerobic bacterial digestion occurs. A by-product of this type of digestion releases methane which is foul-smelling and causes the destruction of the ozone layer of the Earth.
Answer:
Humans are unable to digest cellulose because the appropriate enzymes to breakdown the beta acetal linkages are lacking. (More on enzyme digestion in a later chapter.) ... These symbiotic bacteria possess the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose in the GI tract.
