Question

What is rumination? Why cellulose can be digested by ruminants but not by humans. Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cellulose (a type of carbohydrate) can be digested by ruminants but not by humans because ruminants have a large sac-like structure called rumen between the oesophagus and the small intestine. The cellulose of the food is digested here by the action of certain bacteria which are not present in humans.

Hope it helps you :)☺
