Which statement is not true? A. most people in the world cannot digest milk sugar as adults B.rabbits eat their first feces to reprocess it C. ceca are pouches that come off of the duodenum to create extra bile in animals that eat lots of fat D. some mammals can digest molecules that humans cannot (eg. certain sugars found in insects) E. the crop is used for storage like bees storing nectar that becomes honey Why would it be bad for animals to store lots of glycogen? A. it is difficult to hold inside cells because it is hydrophobic (it diffuses out) B. it reacts with water to create acids C. it causes blood sugar to be too high D. it is hydrophilic attracting lots of water weight/mass
Question 1:-
A) Statement A is correct as 40% of humans stop producing enough lactase to digest milk between the ages of 2 and 5 that is why most of the world's adult population cannot digest milk sugar.
B) Statement B is correct because Rabbits eat their own poop to digest nutrients they were unable to process the first time round.
D) Statement D is correct as for example the β glycosidic linkages in cellulose can't be broken by human digestive enzymes, so humans are not able to digest cellulose. (That’s not to say that cellulose isn’t found in our diets, it just passes through us as undigested, insoluble fiber.) However, some herbivores, such as cows, koalas, buffalos, and horses, have specialized microbes that help them process cellulose. These microbes live in the digestive tract and break cellulose down into glucose monomers that can be used by the animal. Wood-chewing termites also break down cellulose with the help of microorganisms that live in their guts.
E) Statement E is correct as the Statement itself explaining the context that crop is used for storage like bees storing nectar that becomes honey.
