← ScienceWhich consequence results when anaerobic bacteria degrade cellulose?
A)Methane gas production increases rapidly✓
B)Cellulose crystallinity immediately strengthens
C)Soil pH value decreases noticeably
D)Oxidative phosphorylation rate accelerates
💡 Explanation
Rapid methane production increases because hydrolysis breaks β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose, enabling methanogenesis. Therefore, methane increases rather than cellulose becoming crystalline or pH decreasing, because β-1,4-glycosidic bonds availability directly limits conversion.
