<u>ANSWER:</u>

Cattle will have to produce enzymes without the help of bacteria if they lost the ability to maintain a "colony of microorganisms" in the digestive tract.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Cattle maintain a "colony of microorganisms" in their digestive tract because they cannot digest cellulose.
  • The microorganisms produce the enzyme cellulase that breaks down the food that can be easily digested by the cattle.
  • The absence of this enzyme does not allow cattle to digest plant food and thereby cattle do not get the required energy.

MissTica
In secondary succession, the pioneer species are plants that are adapted to exploit disturbances rather than bare rock. They typically include plants such as grasses, birch trees, and fireweed. Organic matter from the pioneer species improves the soil so other trees and plants can move into the area.
