Question

read the text. humans, like members of many other mammalian species, are monogastrics, 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 animal’s stomach extract the liquid from the food. the solid remainder of the food, known as the cud, is then regurgitated back into the animal’s 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 it’s no coincidence that ruminants are always herbivores. which term matches the picture? image of a cow eating grass ruminant monogastric

Explanation:

The text explains that ruminants have four - chambered stomachs, chew cud, and are herbivores. The picture shows a cow (a herbivore) eating plant - based food. Cows are ruminants. Monogastrics have a single - chambered stomach, and cows don't fall into this category. So the term that matches the picture is ruminant.

Answer:

ruminant
