Which nutritional benefit arises within herbivores because of gut microbiomes?

💡 Explanation

Cellulose fermentation occurs due to microbes releasing cellulase enzymes that herbivores lack; therefore energy harvest is possible from plant cellulose, rather than animals lacking fiber degradation pathways that have incomplete digestion.
