FIRST 10 Flashcards
Herbivores can be further classified into?
frugivores (fruit-eaters),
granivores (seed eaters),
nectivores (nectar feeders),
and folivores (leaf eaters).
BLANK are those that rely entirely on animal flesh to obtain their nutrients; EX: cats family such lions, cheetah
Obligate carnivores
Blank are those that also eat non-animal food in addition to animal food.
Facultative Carnivores
omnivore means?
Carnivore means?
To eat everything
Meat eaters
BLANK BLANK is found in organisms with only one opening for digestion.
Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Ctenophora (comb jellies), and Cnidaria (coral, jelly fish, and sea anemones) use this type of digestion.
Gastrovascular Cavity
The BLANK BLANK is a more advanced
system: it consists of one tube with a mouth at one end and an anus at the other.
Alimentary Canal
Using BLANK, or wave-like smooth muscle contractions, the muscles of the
esophagus push the food towards the stomach.
In order to speed up the actions of enzymes in the stomach, the stomach is an
extremely acidic environment, with a pH between BLANK AND BLANK
PERISTALSIS
1.5 AND 2.5
The stomach of birds has two chambers: the BLANK, where gastric juices are produced to digest the food before it enters the stomach,
and the BLANK, where the food is stored, soaked, and mechanically ground.
The undigested material forms food pellets that are sometimes regurgitated. Most of the chemical digestion and absorption happens in the intestine and the waste is excreted through the BLANK
proventriculus
GIZZARD
Cloaca
BLANK are mainly herbivores like cows, sheep, and goats, whose entire diet consists of eating large
amounts of roughage or fiber.
Ruminants (they take a very long time to digest)
The four compartments of the stomach are called the BLANK, BLANK, BLANK, BLANK These
chambers contain many microbes that breakdown cellulose and ferment ingested food.
The BLANK is the “true” stomach and is the equivalent of the monogastric stomach chamber where gastric juices are secreted.
rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.
