Cellulose-Digesting Symbiotic Microbes Exist in All of the Following Locations

Question

Cellulose-digesting symbiotic microbes exist in all of the following locations except
A)the large intestine and cecum of rabbits.
B)the stomach of a ruminant.
C)the stomach of a deep-sea giant tube worm.
D)the crop of an herbivorous bird.
E)the enlarged cecum of the koala bear.

Accepted Answer

Cellulose-digesting symbiotic microbes are found in the large intestine and cecum of rabbits, in the stomach of a ruminant and the crop of an herbivorous bird, and in the enlarged cecum of the koala bear. However, they are not found in the stomach of a deep-sea giant tube worm, as these animals rely on chemosynthesis rather than cellulose digestion.
