food rather than simple food?​

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Example:

Foods eaten by cows are plants, they have cellulose, they were broken up by the first stomach of that animal and converts into curds which again require digestion, which comes to the animals mouth they chew again and it goes to other three chambers of the stomach for digestion.

This process requires more energy.
