The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a specific structure in the human body that is described as a "small blind sac" which hosts symbiotic microorganisms. 2. **Identifying Possible Answers**: The options provided are cecum, colon, rumen, and all of these. We need to determine which of these structures fits the description. 3. **Analyzing the Cecum**: The cecum is known to be a small pouch located at the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine. It is indeed a blind sac, meaning it has only one opening. 4. **Symbiotic Microorganisms in the Cecum**: The cecum hosts symbiotic microorganisms, primarily the bacterium E. coli. This bacterium plays a crucial role in the digestive process, particularly in the synthesis of certain vitamins like vitamin K and B complex. 5. **Evaluating Other Options**: - **Colon**: The colon is part of the large intestine but is not a blind sac; it is a continuous tube. - **Rumen**: The rumen is part of the digestive system in ruminant animals (like cows) and is not present in humans. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to fill in the blank is "cecum". It is the small blind sac in humans that hosts symbiotic microorganisms. **Final Answer**: In human **cecum** is a small blind sac which hosts some symbiotic microorganisms. ---
