Question

question 3 which of the following would most likely occur if cattle lost the ability to maintain a colony of microorganisms in their digestive tract? a cattle would no longer be able to synthesize cellulose. b cattle would have to convert cellulose to starch before digesting it. c cattle would have to start producing enzyme b without the help of the bacteria. d cattle would no longer be able to use cellulose as a primary

Explanation:

Cattle rely on microorganisms in their digestive tract to break down cellulose. Without these microorganisms, they can't effectively use cellulose as a primary energy - source.

Answer:

D. Cattle would no longer be able to use cellulose as a primary
