The correct answer is - B -Grass is easier for herbivores to digest.

The grassland ecosystems were revolutionary for the herbivores when they started to form, and big portion of them became grassland dwellers where they occupied the niche of primary consumers, because the forest ecosystems where not offering the same amount of advantages for feeding. Compering grasses and trees, the grass has more nutritional value, and it is also much easier for the herbivores to digest the grass, than to try and digest tree branches, thus the logical option for them was to move into the grasslands.

The grassland ecosystems are relatively new on the scene, and they only emerged around 20 million years ago in South America. Since they provided lots of food, and it was high nutrition, easy to digest food, the herbivores quickly moved in, thus increasing the number of primary consumers in this ecosystem.

When heart muscles cells are deprived of oxygen, the heart still pumps. what must the heart cells be able to do? transform lacta
katrin2010 [14]
The heart cells must be able to continue aerobic metabolism when skeletal muscle cannot. Aerobic metabolism is a part of cellular respiration and involves body cells making energy through glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport/oxidative. It is done in the heart at a rate below 85% of maximum heart rate and does not use vigorous muscle contraction. fatty acids , ketone bodies and carbohydrates are the primary substrates of the heart metabolized to generate ATP. The metabolic demands of the heart are the largest than any other organ in the body, and normal cardiac metabolism is required to fuel contractile function and viability.
