Question

Which of the following are adaptions of the digestive system in land-dwelling herbivores?

A. Flat teeth and longer intestinal tracts
B. More fat cells to store energy
C. Strong jaws and sharper teeth
D. Removal of ammonia through gills

Answer 1

Answer: A

Land dwelling herbivores have flatter teeth, to help with chewing plants (as opposed to canines to rip through flesh). They also have a longer intestinal track, this is because plants don't putrefy in the body as quickly as raw meat will, so a longer intestinal track doesn't hurt herbivores.
