In the rabbit, which structure houses bacteria that help in the digestion of cellulose?
AStomach
BCaecum
CLiver
DOesophagus
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Caecum
1. The rabbit is herbivorous and eats cellulose-rich plants.
2. The caecum is a thin-walled sac at the junction of small and large intestine.
3. It contains bacteria that digest cellulose.
4. The stomach uses digestive enzymes, not cellulose-digesting bacteria, so it is the trap.
