Why are cattle able to survive, grow, and reproduce on a plant diet which does not contain most of the essential amino acids required for their health?
Select one:
a.
Their saliva has cellulase and can therefore digest cellulose present in plant cell walls
b.
Like rabbits, cattle can re-ingest their feces
c.
Bacteria in their rumen synthesize essential amino acids from digested plant material
d.
They are unique in that they can synthesize all essential amino acids in their liver from a variety of metabolic precursors
e.
They are autotrophs
Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the "lipid divide"?
a. Refers to the origin of energy-generating organelles in Eukaryotes.
b. Discusses the presence of pseudomurein in the cell membrane of Archaea as opposed to the presence of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell membranes.
c. It implies that ether-glycerol linkages in the plasma membrane set Archaea apart from Bacteria and Eukarya.
d.It refers to the unique composition of the phospholipids of the cell membrane among the three domains.
