Answers
Answer:
Within these natural communities, the animals eat specific diets that connect them together in a food chain.
Answer:
1 and 2. Rabbits, are not ruminants, as they have a simple single-chambered stomach. Deer are ruminants, or cud-chewers, and have a four-chambered stomach.
3. Rabbit, have a monogastric digestive system. However, in the rabbit the small intestine and cecum are enlarged to allow more time to digest plant material. The enlarged organ provides more surface area for absorption of nutrients.
Deer have a four-chambered stomach. The first chamber, called the rumen, is for storage. The rumen allows for the deer to gather a lot of food at once and then digest it later. The deer bring the food back up into their mouth and chew it again.
4.Some ruminant animals include cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, deer, elk, giraffes and camels while non-ruminant animals include human, horse, swine, fowl, dog, and rabbit.
