Defferance between polgastic and monogastric animals?

Polygastric animals have multiple compartments in their stomach, such as cows and sheep, while monogastric animals have a single-chambered stomach, such as humans and pigs. Polygastric animals rely on fermentation in their stomachs to break down cellulose, while monogastric animals rely on enzymes for digestion. Polygastric animals also have a longer digestive system to accommodate the fermentation process, while monogastric animals have a shorter digestive system.

Polyphagic Animals:

- Have a simple stomach with a single chamber
- Can digest a wide variety of foods of plant or animal origin (e.g., humans, pigs, rats)
- Have a longer digestive tract with larger intestines for fermentation
- Produce enzymes throughout the digestive tract
- Utilize cellulose-degrading enzymes in their hindgut bacteria (e.g., ruminants)

Monogastric Animals:

- Have a complex stomach with two or more chambers
- Are specialized for digesting specific types of food (herbivores or carnivores)
- Have a shorter digestive tract with smaller intestines
- Produce enzymes primarily in the stomach and pancreas
- Do not have cellulose-degrading enzymes in their digestive system
