<h2>Microbes and ruminants relation</h2>
Explanation:
The mixture of microbes allows the host animal to produce a much wider variety of digestive enzymes, far more than the host could encode in their own genome
- The microbes in the gut of ruminants include bacteria,fungi and protozoa
- These microbes helps the ruminant animals to digest food,without the microbes these animals would die
- The microbes break down feed to produce volatile fatty acids, which are used by the cow(ruminant animal) as energy for maintenance and milk production
The type of ecological succession being described in the illustration is primary succession.
<h3>What is primary succession?</h3>
It is a form of succession that occurs when an area that has never been occupied by any living organism becomes exposed and eventually gets colonized by living organisms.
It is quite different from secondary succession which happens when an area that has been housing biotic communities before gets disrupted by a major disturbance.
A new island formed by volcanic action has never housed any biotic community before. Thus, only primary succession can occur there.
