Textbook Question
Chapter 32, Problem 3RQ
An animal’s feeding adaptations are an integral part of its behavior and usually shape the appearance of the animal itself. Discuss contrasting feeding adaptations of carnivores and herbivores.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following sets of adaptations most likely describes an organism with a carnivorous diet?
sharp teeth for biting and tearing, shortened intestines, a small cecum and appendix
flat teeth for grinding, long intestines, enlarged cecum and appendix
both sharp and flat teeth, medium length intestines, small cecum and appendix
Consider the following image of the teeth in the lower jaw of select primates. What does the size and shape of teeth say about the diets of each primate?
Nutrition and Digestion
Identify the different modes of feeding mechanisms found in the Animal Kingdom, describe each and give 2 example animals for each mode.
Why do Cnidarians, Flatworms and Protists have simple or no extensively developed digestive system? (clue: mention their digestive structure and their mode of feeding)
What are the structural adaptations of snakes that allowed them to eat and digest a whole prey?
Why do insects of one species have a changing diet requirement during their life history?
Different birds have varying food habits, discuss the structural and physiological adaptations that allow them to process these foods.
What are the four stages of the digestive process, describe each stage/step and indicate what are the products/substances produced and their fate?
Discuss the role of the endocrine system in controlling digestion.

- complete the following food chains by dragging and dropping the animals in the correct orderarrow_forwardThe spotted hyena can generate enough force with its jaws to crush bone. Which of the following is NOT a possible explanation for their high bite force, relative to other carnivores? The jaw musculature is much larger compared to other carnivores (greater in-force) The hyena jaw is shorter, increasing the out-lever arm The hyena places the bone under a specialized tooth (circled), which effectively decreases the out-lever arm length The jaw muscle of the hyena inserts further from the articulation point with the skull, effectively increasingly the in-lever arm Further, which of the following does NOT represent an adaptation to absorb and withstand high forces? Spongy bone Incorporation of minerals and proteins into the biological material experiencing the force Arrangement of fibers in parallel 3D structures Fusion of small bonesarrow_forwardBony Fish Describe the colors and textures of the dissected perch (bony fish), their functions, and the ways in which the internal anatomy of the perch is similar to and differs from that of the shark. How does the anatomy of the digestive system influence the food preference of the perch, compared to that of the shark? Compare the two organisms in their buoyancy mechanisms, and the means of oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange. What is the ecology of the perch (including a preference for fresh or saltwater, food preference (are all herbivores? Carnivores?)) What economic importance do fish have?arrow_forward

Beavers normally eat the bark of trees, leaves, twigs, lily roots and the buds of deciduous trees. How do the claws of the beaver help it to compete for its food? A) The beaver's claws help it to dig holes to search for animals hiding underground. B) The beaver's claws help it to hide its face when predators are near. C) The beaver's claws help it to feel for food in the grass in the darkness of the night.

These animals have keen hearing, clear vision, supple, well-conditioned muscles, and razor sharp reflexes. The evolution of the four-chambered stomach in ungulates developed as a result of a need to eat quickly in the open and chew later in the safety of cover. This process is called ruminating or "chewing the cud." In other words, ungulates regurgitate and then re- chew their food. Which of the following would be considered a physiological adaptation of ungulates? A) their four-chambered stomach B) their long legs, which help them outrun predators C) their ability to stand perfectly still, which helps them avoid predators D) their ability to hibernate to avoid cold wintersarrow_forward
