. State if true or false a. Microbial enzymes can digest carbohydrates containing β–1,4 bonds b.Glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle, which is active in skeletal muscles and in the brain, bypasses Complex I and II of ETC resulting to less energy produced compared to malate-aspartate shuttle. c.Insoluble NSP has high water holding capacity and will increase the intestinal transit time of digesta.
