Number of chews: 3
Teeth used: molars, premolars, and canines
5. Which food type(s) required biting? How do these data compare to
your earlier hypotheses? All of them
6. Which food required the most chewing? Which food required the least
chewing? How do these data compare to your earlier hypotheses?
The salad
was the most chewing while the gooey food was the least
7. Which types of teeth were primarily used for biting? Which teeth were
primarily used for chewing? Molars and Premolars
8. If you were to further test how different types of teeth correspond to
different diets, what types of teeth would you hypothesize to be
enlarged in primates whose diets emphasize each of these food types?
Why? I think it be the somewhere the same but this may depend on the
primate amount of teeth and the size of the jaw as larger primates would use
4 or 6 less teeth, but if a smaller one this might require more chewing to
processes the size of the food.
