Question

humans, like members of many other mammalian species, are monogastric, which means that they have a single - chambered stomach. some other mammalian species, though, are ruminants, which means that their stomachs have four chambers instead of one. ruminants are perhaps best known for how much chewing they do during their digestive process. when a ruminant, such as a deer, eats food, the first two chambers of the animals stomach extract the liquid from the food. the solid remainder of the food, known as the cud, is then regurgitated back into the animals mouth to be chewed again. this allows the animal to extract more nutrients than it would otherwise. this is ideal for animals that eat plant - based diets, so its no coincidence that ruminants are always herbivores. which term matches the picture?

Explanation:

The picture shows animals that eat plant - based diets (herbivores). Ruminants are herbivorous animals with multi - chambered stomachs that regurgitate and re - chew cud to extract more nutrients. Monogastric animals have a single - chambered stomach. Since the animals in the picture are likely ruminants (as they are herbivores and the description mentions ruminant characteristics), the term that matches is ruminant.

Answer:

ruminant
