Answer 1

$\huge\fcolorbox{white}{red}{Hello Mate}$

Ruminant Digestion. Like other vertebrates, ruminant Artiodactyla (including cattle, deer, and their relatives) are unable to digest plant material directly, because they lack enzymes to break down cellulose in the cell walls. Digestion in ruminants occurs sequentially in a four-chambered stomach.

Answer 2

The ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered organ found in ruminants. It is usually composed of four separate chambers and allows digestion of large quantities of plant matter that would be relatively indigestible for most other types of mammals, in particular grass and the leaves. They can digest cellulose because of the bacteria in their stomachs. Ruminants have 4 stomachs specialized to support the growth of bacteria that make the beta-glycosidases needed to cleave cellulose into its component sugar: glucose.
