UP CPMTUP CPMT 2010
Solution:
A large part of food of rabbit consists of cellulose. Digestion of cellulose occurs in the caecum which is specially well-developed in rabbit and all herbivorous mammals. It is inhabited by a vast number of symbiotic bacteria and protozoa. These break up cellulose into soluble sugars and, in return get nitrogenous food from rabbit. These bacteria furnish an example of symbiotic relationship between plant and animal.
