Answer:

By producing vitamins or breaking down molecules.

Explanation:

Producing vitamins that humans cannot produce by themselves. Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and members of the gut microbiota are examples of probiotics that synthesize vitamin K and others like biotin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and thiamine.
Another way is by breaking down with enzymes molecules that cannot be digested by humans, for example, fiber, starches, and sugars.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Can you guys tell me these all animals mode of nutrition

marishachu [46]

Answer:

As per my full understanding,

There are two main modes of nutrition:

Autotrophic – Plants exhibit autotrophic nutrition and are called primary producers. Plants synthesis their food by using light, carbon dioxide and water.

Heterotrophic – Both animals and human beings are called heterotrophs, as they depend on plants for their food.

WHEREBY: TERMS IN THIS TWO SETS ARE:

Chemohetrotroph. Gets energy from chemicals and carbon from other sources.

Photohetrotroph. Gets energy from light and carbon from other sources.

Chemoautotroph. Gets energy from chemicals and produces its own carbon.

Photoautotroph. Gets energy from light and produces its own carbon.

Which type of solution would cause a bacterium with a weak or damaged cell wall to burst as water moves into the cell? hints whi

taurus [48]

The type of solution that would cause a bacterium with a weak or damaged cell wall to burst as water moves into the cell is a hypotonic solution.

When a bacteria with a weak cell wall is kept in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of the water outside the cell is large, and within the cell it is low. This concentration gradient of water forces the water from the outside to exert force onto the cell wall. If the cell wall is weak, then the water rushes in bursting the cell.
