Summary Introduction
To explain:
How birds digest different food given they lack teeth like mammals.
Introduction:
Birds have two chambered stomach. One of the chambers is called the glandular stomach (proventriculus) and is similar in function to the mammalian stomach. The other chamber is called the gizzard (muscular stomach).

From this article only.
We learned about a lot of species of mammals with heterodont dentition. However, some mammals are exceptions to the general mammalian characteristic of heterodont dentition. List four mammalian species from different families (you don't have to know the family name) that are exceptions to to the heterodont dentition rule.
Which conclusion is most strongly supported by the data in the table?

How you are going to categories the living creatures based on their food source?arrow_forwardThe presence of villi and smooth muscle increases the surface area for nutrient absorption in the gut of many animals. This statement is (T/F). • If true, enter x in the blanks below. • If false, then how would you change the sentence to make it correct? You can change two words at most. Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is" to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit. I would change the word(s) to the word(s) to make the sentence correct.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
- Mammals are very diverse. For example, do all mammals have four legs? Do you recall any mammals with more or fewer than two eyes?arrow_forwardThousands of years ago, the jaws and teeth of jaguars were more varied in size than they are today. During a period of climate change about 11,000 years ago, jaguars faced a shortage of food. There were fewer mammals to eat, so the jaguars had to eat shelled reptiles. The jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth could most easily eat the shelled reptiles. Which of the following statements best explains why large jaws and teeth are common characteristics in jaguars today? Jaguars with smallest jaws and teeth died out completely. Jaguars with the smallest jaws and teeth were not able to mate. Jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth survived and reproduced more successfully than the other jaguars. Jaguars with the largest jaws and teeth strengthened them by using them more frequently than the other jaguars.arrow_forwardEASY. I WILL RATE AND LIKE! THANK YOU.arrow_forward
- You are what you eat. What does this mean? If you eat only celery, will you become a vegetable? Sometimes there are so many words used to describe foods and nutrition, it is difficult to make sense of them. In fact, we do use the food we eat to provide energy and also the building blocks for growth and development. Even after you are fully-grown, your body, just like any other machine, needs to make constant repairs to injured areas and must replace cells that have died. To make sure that the structure of your body is correct and strong, you must provide it with a regular supply of the right building materials. Foods are the building materials for the body. There are six large categories of nutrients in food. These are carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Each food you eat not only contains more than one nutrient, but also a different number of calories (energy). Fat, protein, and carbohydrates provide calories, or energy as well as building blocks. Vitamins,…arrow_forwardWisdom Teeth: Possible function?arrow_forwardThe evolution of jaws was a novel adaption that allowed organisms to process larger particles of food. True or false ?arrow_forward
