Question

Please answer the following questions for numbers 14, 15 and 16. If you are not sure please write it next to the problem number. I am a little confused on these, I will rate good!

14. Nutritionally, the consumption of feces (coprophagy) makes more sense for hindgut fermenters than foregut fermenters. Why? a. Nutrients produced by microbes in the hindgut are not absorbed; therefore, coprophagy enables hindgut fermenters to absorb nutrients produced by microbes b. Microbial symbionts are not activated to produce nutrients unless they have passed through the digestive system at least twice. c. Microbial symbionts are rarely excreted; therefore coprophagy enables hindgut fermenters to increase the population of beneficial microbes d. The microenvironment in the hindgut is more favorable to microbes compared to the foregut. 15. Bile salts are important for the effective functioning of... a. amylase. b. endopeptidases. c. exopeptidases. d. lipases. 16. Animals use absorbed chemical energy for... a. exported chemical energy, fecal energy, heat, and mechanical energy of external work. b. exported chemical energy and mechanical energy of external work only. c. heat and mechanical energy of external work only. d. exported chemical energy, heat, and mechanical energy of external work.

Explanation / Answer

15.bile salts are essential for more effective working of lipases.

16.animals use absorbed chemical energy for heat and mechanical energy fir external work
