Biology

background info:

Digestive system in animals is an important system in the context of digestion of ingested food into simpler forms that could be easily absorbed by the body cells.

This provides all the essential compounds needed by the body for the existence and development of the living organism. Different digestive systems have evolved according to different species, their feeding patterns, and their habitats.

answer:

Ruminant species survive only on plant matter. They are herbivorous animals.

Therefore, the digestive system of ruminants is evolved with the presence of a rumen which is a complex stomach with four different compartments.

Humans are omnivorous who depend on plant and animal matter both thus, their digestive system composes of one stomach.

This is the key difference between digestion of humans and ruminants.

hope this helped

Answer:The primary difference is that ruminants have modified their stomach into multiple compartments in order to host a very vibrant and diverse community of microorganisms. Some of these microorganisms are able to digest cellulose and produce volatile fatty acids. These volatile fatty acids are used as a source of energy by the ruminant. Propionate - a volatile fatty acid, is the only volatile fatty acid used for gluconeogenesis.

The rumimal microbe community also provides other nutrients as well but is mostly known for its role in cellulose digestion.

Ruminants have also evolved the ability to bring up a small ball of feed from their rumen to their mouth. They then masticate (chew) this ball to breakdown the fibrous material. This ability is commonly referred to as “chewing their cud” or ruminating. hope this helps have a bless day❤️❤️

Katyanochek1 [597]

Destruction of coral reefs would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem. Some species could be driven to extinction.  

Coral reefs are the base of the most diverse marine ecosystem in the world. They are often referred to as the ‘rainforest’ of the oceans and seas.  They provide shelter for cnidarians, sponges, crustaceans, and etcetera and provide hiding grounds from predators.
