人们第一次了解到,居住在海里的绿海龟,如同牛、羊等一样能很好地消化植物纤维素。动物因为本身不具有分解植物纤维素所需的酶,自己不能进行消化,所以要借细菌的力量来分解植物素。为此,动物持有一个象牛和羊那样称为反刍胃的大“发酵槽”。但是,人们一直认为爬虫类所吃进的纤维素,全部不经消化而直接以粪便形式排出,只有绿海龟似乎例 It is the first time people have learned that green turtles living in the sea can digest plant cellulose well just like cattle and sheep. Because animals do not themselves have the enzymes needed to break down plant cellulose, they can not digest themselves, so use the power of bacteria to decompose them. To this end, the animal holds a large “fermenter” called a ruminant stomach, like cattle and sheep. However, people always think that reptiles eat all the cellulose, all without digestion and discharged directly in the form of manure, only the green turtle seems to be the case
