The alimentary canal is relatively long becausethe digestion of plant material is difficult

19、,Digestion of cellulose by microorganisms Micro-organisms must be kept separate from the gut so as to avoid the action of digestive enzymes, to provide long enough time for the break down of cellulose and a suitable pH for these micro-organisms In ruminants, e.g. cattle, sheep & deer four chambers:

20、rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum food first enters the first two chambers (rumen & reticulum) to carry out extracellular digestion of cellulose by cellulase secreted by microorganisms,Products of digestion are either absorbed by walls of the rumen & reticulum or micro-organisms which are later dig

In ruminants, the rumen houses a great variety of symbionts than the caecum and they can achieve a more complete breakdown of cellulose. Further more, these symbionts provide a source of protein when they die and pass into the gut.,Symbiosis and the nitrogen cycle Nitrogen fixation by leguminous plants in their root nodules provides about 100 million tonnes of nitrogen per year. This association provides bacteria with carbon source and plants with nitrate.,
