Summary Introduction
To review:
The structural differences between the teeth on the pharyngeal jaws of herbivorous and carnivorous minnows.
Introduction:
The herbivorous minnows feed on the plants for their survival, whereas the carnivorous minnows feed on the insects. On the basis of food habits, the minnows have different teeth on the pharyngeal jaws.

What might have been some evolutionary pressures acting on animals that led to the internalization of digestive systems?
Ungulates
Ungulates, such as deer, reindeer, and elk, are hoofed mammals. These animals have keen hearing, clear vision, supple, well-conditioned muscles, and razor sharp reflexes. The evolution of the four-chambered stomach in ungulates developed as a result of a need to eat quickly in the open and chew later in the safety of cover. This process is called ruminating or "chewing the cud." In other words, ungulates regurgitate and then re- chew their food.
Which of the following would be considered a physiological adaptation of ungulates?
A) their four-chambered stomach B) their long legs, which help them outrun predators
C) their ability to stand perfectly still, which helps them avoid predators
D) their ability to hibernate to avoid cold winters
The two types of digestion that take place in mammals is
