Question
Chapter 46, Problem 1IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: That why don’t all animals have teeth like omnivores, capable of eating anything.
Introduction: A vertebrate is an animal with a spinal cord surrounded by bone or cartilage. Vertebrates include fish, birds, amphibians, mammals, and reptiles. Mammals are vertebrate animals constituting the class Mammalia. Different mammals (carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore) have evolved tooth shapes suited for their diets.

- 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 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.

Is there a mesentery that suspends the intestine from the body wall in these animals?arrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forwardUngulates Ungulates, such as deer, reindeer, and elk, are hoofed mammals. 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
