Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Methanogens are prokaryotes that aid digestion in cattle, deer, and other animals that obtain nutrition from cellulose by breaking down cellulose into simpler organic compounds and producing methane gas as a byproduct. Halophiles are prokaryotes that are adapted to living in high salt environments, dinoflagellates are eukaryotic protists, and cocci are a group of bacteria that come in a spherical or ovoid shape. None of these organisms are known to aid in digestion in cattle, deer, or other such animals.
