Explanation:
question-> Which part of the ruminant stomach has microorganisms that digest cellulose?
answer is rumen
question -> The Amoeba does not have a mouth. How does it ingest food?
answer is with the help of pseudopodia
Answer:
1. Rumen! Ruminants digest their food in 2 steps: The food ingested is initially taken to the Rumen where it is processed mechanically and exposed to the microorganisms that digest cellulose. Then the half-digested food goes to the 2nd chamber of the stomach: the Reticulum. From here, the food is sent back to the mouth as 'cud' to be chewed properly.
- Chewing of 'cud' is known as rumination and such animals are ruminants. Ex: Cows. [A reference pic of their stomach chamber is attached!]
2. It uses its fake feet- Pseudopodia to surround its prey and then makes it a food vacuole, hence ingesting it.
