Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ruminants are animals like cows or sheep that have multiple stomach chambers, some of which store populations of microorganisms. This allows them to break down plant-based material.

Answer: D
 Ruminants are known for their process of regurgitating and re-chewing their food, which forms a ball of food particles called a bolus.

Answer: F
 Ruminants have multiple stomach chambers, such as the rumen and reticulum, which store populations of microorganisms that aid in breaking down plant-based material.

Answer: G
 The interior lining of the stomach, specifically the gastric mucosa, secretes gastric fluid which helps break down food.

Answer: I
 The mixture of mucus, HCl, and pepsinogen is a combination of gastric fluids secreted by the stomach that helps break down food.

Answer: J
 The mixture of food particles and gastric fluid in the stomach is called chyme.

Note: Choices A, B, C, and H are not related to ruminants specifically.
