1. The frog has feeble, practically useless teeth unlike humans who use their teeth for mastication in digestion.\n\n2. Solid wastes from the frog's large intestine pass into the cloaca where both liquid and solid waste material leave the body by way of the cloaca and the cloacal vent.In humans liquid waste leave the body by way of the urethra. while solid waste leaves the body by way of the rectum through the a nus.

* Many seeds (e.g. maple, pine) have a wing that aids in wind dispersal.\n    * The dustlike seeds of orchids are carried efficiently by the wind.\n    * Some seeds, (e.g. dandelion, milkweed, poplar) have hairs that aid in wind dispersal.\n    * Seeds with a fleshy covering (e.g. apple, cherry, juniper) which is eaten by animals (birds, mammals) which then disperse the seeds in their droppings.\n    * Seeds (nuts) which are an attractive long-term storable food resource for animals (e.g. acorns, hazelnut, walnut); the seeds are stored some distance from the parent plant, and some escape being eaten if the animal stores more than it needs, forgets where it has stored the seed, or dies.\n    * Seeds (burrs) with barbs or hooks (e.g. acaena, burdock, dock) which attach to animal fur or feathers, and then drop off later.\n    * Seeds of some mangroves are viviparous, they begin to germinate while still attached to the parent. The large, heavy root allows the seed to penetrate into the ground when it falls.\n    * Some seeds have appendages called elaiosomes, e.g. bloodroot, trilliums and Acacias. Elaiosomes provide food for ants, which usually disperse such seeds. \n    * Some plants, such as Mucuna and Dioclea, produce buoyant seeds termed sea-beans or drift seeds because they float in rivers to the oceans and wash up on beaches.

they're bat and frog food.

Since this is in biology, you could be talking about food energy.  Here's how that goes:\nEvery time an animal eats a plant, only 10% of the energy in the plant is passed on to another animal that eats that animal.  So, if you eat, say, a cow, you are only getting 10% of the energy that you would be getting by eating the plant in the first place.

The animal I refer to as a whistle pig is a woodchuck - if you want to feed them then fruit and veg are your best bet.

Pound for pound, there isnt anything to compare to meat (assuming of course you are adding in the fat, and the tasty, ever-surprising intestines and stomachs of the prey).  But, food for a carnivore is dangerous-you cant get fat and slow, you want to keep the meal frequencies to a minimum, and each meal comes with some exercise-thus big canivores only eat once or twice a week at best.  Herbivores eat for hours and hours every day.  No, the food is not highly nutritious, especially in terms of fat and protein content-but there is a whole lot of it, a long time to eat and digest it, and no worries about over-eating and getting fat, really.  You know, the eating patterns are why herbivores tend to be much more aggressive, dangerous animals that carnivores- Think bull moose, bull elephants, hippos, rhinocerous etc- They are much more aggressive and dangerous to be around than a corresponding lion or wolf.  Herbivores can afford to get quite injured, and still recover cause their food doesnt move around and try to get away.  A tiger breaks it's foot, or gets a terribly torm muscle, and it will likely starve, so large carnivores are generally very wary of getting into fights.

Birds and fowl lack smooth muscles in their throats to pull food and water down to their stomach.  Therefore they have to lift up their heads and let it fall.  This is why you can't bring a canary in outer space because it would starve/dehydrate.

How does an earthworm eat? Earthworms eat by pulling food into their mouth with their prostomium combined with the muscular pharynx which creates a very high suction (like a vacuum). The food is stored in the crop and then ground up into small digestible pieces in the gizzard. Earthworms need a gizzard because they do not have any teeth. The nutrients are absorbed into the body in the small intestine. \nEarthworms probably feed while they are moving. They are not picky eaters as they will eat all sorts of dead things such as decaying plant and animal matter. They consume a great deal of matter in a short period of time - they can produce their own weight in castings (worm dung) every 24 hours!

...it works well I guess.  It hold them up, supports their organs, gives their musels something to push against and move.  It works just like any other mammal's skeleton though.\n\n\nhttp://www.uniqueartistic.com/3_Browser/catalog/casti_Images/tiger.jpg

sorry but havent got an answer for you however you did succed in making me laugh for a second so thank you. i guess you could say the same about bats, they are blind but only come out at night....Whats the difference lol. Do you think they are also aware that they hang upside down????

Do you mean a bicycle riding bat? They tend to live longer than other bats because they're keeping fit in one of the most aerobic ways.\n\nHowever, bats do find it difficult to stay in the saddle at speed - this is because they have to spread their wings in order to grip the handlebars - thus as speed builds up they tend to take off. This is why you don't see many cycling bats, most tend to prefer rowing or sailing.

I have to say I'm not sure about poop... but they do "throw up" when they land on things... this is the way they eat.  They have lapping mouth parts, so they need to "spit up" on the food to break it down so they can slurp it up!  This is a crude explanation, but hopefully it helps!

There are two issues here. One is that the body shape of ruminants and herbivores in general is very different from ours. If you think about it, their trunks aren't fat, but rather their legs are proportionally thin; that's the typical body shape for good runners such as ungulates (hoofed mammals) which they are.\nIn addition, mammals that are herbivorous and feed specially on grass tend to have large abdomens. That is only partially related to the number of digestive compartments they have (think of a leaf-eating gorilla compared with a slimmer omnivorous baboon); usually their intestine is extra long because they need more absorptive surface, as leaves are not the most nutritious and easy-to-digest food.\nA side note: cows don't have 4 stomachs; only the last of those cavities is equivalent to our stomach (i.e. glandular, with enzyme secretion) whereas the other 3 are often considered as subdivisions of the esophagus. \nAll that being said, a pampered cow that ingests more energy more than what it spends, will get as fat as a cow ;)

Veterbrates are those animals with spines (spinal chords). They generally vote Democrat. They eat all sorts of things: Big Macs, tortilla chips, and sometimes veggie burgers.\n\nInvertebrates have no spines: usually vote Republican. They may have an exoskeleton like mosquitos (blood suckers who live off the poor but favor tax cuts for the rich), snails and slugs (found under rocks), and shrimp.\n\nI am sure you can figure out other differences but the business with spines or not is really the important point. You and your cat are vertebrates. A jellyfish is an invertebrate and so is a worm.

If you mean trophic level, not tropic level, many time intestine lengths get relatively shorter as you move up trophic levels. So a lion has a much shorter relative intestinal tract length than a water buffalo would.
