Question
Chapter 32, Problem 10WIO
Summary Introduction
To design:
An experiment for the testing of the hypothesis that intestinal bacteria are essential to nutrient absorption in mice.
Concept introduction:
The small and large intestines are involved in the absorption of nutrients in the body. The intestinal region of the humans has a large number of microbes that are collectively called as “intestinal” or “gut” flora.
