Mutualist exploration of cellulose digestion

Question

Discuss “mutualist exploration of cellulose digestion”, the occurrence which happens in some of the mammals and insects?

Answer 1

Herbivorous animals generally eat large amount of cellulose, which is not easily digested by their digestive enzymes. In herbivorous animals regions of the digestive tube are colonized through the microorganisms which digest cellulose. This mutualist ecological interaction between the animals and the microorganisms happens, like in cows, horses, rabbits and in some of the insects such as termites.
