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&#8217;s stomach extract the liquid from the food. The solid remainder of the food, known as the <em>cud<\/em>, is then regurgitated back into the animal&#8217;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&#8217;s no coincidence that ruminants are always herbivores.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.png 800w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-w-1-determine-the-meaning-of-domain-specific-words-with-pictures\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Read the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Flowering plants are commonly divided into two groups: monocots and dicots. They are distinguished by the number of cotyledons their seeds have\u2014a cotyledon is an undeveloped leaf inside the seed. Monocot seeds have one cotyledon while dicot seeds have two. You can also tell mature monocots and dicots apart based on their leaves and flowers. Monocots&#8217; petals occur in multiples of three (e.g. three or six), and their leaves have parallel veins; dicots&#8217; petals occur in multiples of four or five, and their leaves have branched veins.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1.png 800w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-w-1-determine-the-meaning-of-domain-specific-words-with-pictures\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Read the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Butterflies and moths are easily mistaken for each other, but one distinction between them often appears during their pupal stage. When most butterfly caterpillars reach full size, they attach themselves to a leaf or other object and shed their skin a final time, forming a chrysalis, a hard, shell-like skin, which protects the pupa inside. The chrysalis may be dull and rough or shiny and smooth, usually blending into its surroundings. Most moth caterpillars, by contrast, create a cocoon to protect the pupa, rather than forming a chrysalis. The cocoons usually resemble hard silk pouches, but some moths also incorporate materials like hairs and twigs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png 800w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-w-1-determine-the-meaning-of-domain-specific-words-with-pictures\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Read the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Molecules tend to move from areas of high concentration (more molecules for the space) to areas of low concentration (fewer molecules for the space) until they are evenly spaced. This movement is called diffusion. If you spray air freshener or perfume in a room, the perfume molecules will tend to move towards areas in which they are less concentrated, which is how the scent spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Osmosis is the term for a related but more specific kind of movement, the movement of certain kinds of molecules across semipermeable (semi-open) membranes. Many substances can&#8217;t move across semipermeable cell membranes, but water molecules can. The process of pickling vegetables involves osmosis. Salt is more highly concentrated in salt water than it is in vegetables. For this reason, when a vegetable is placed in a jar of salt water, water molecules will pass via osmosis from areas of lower salt concentration (inside of the vegetable cells) to areas of higher salt concentration (the salt water surrounding the vegetables). This leaves the vegetables crispier.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-3.png 800w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-3-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-w-1-determine-the-meaning-of-domain-specific-words-with-pictures\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Read the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">When an animal dies, it still has valuable nutrients stored in its body. Helping return these nutrients to the ecosystem are detritivores and decomposers, both of which feed on dead organic matter. Detritivores, such as worms and some millipedes, eat and internally digest small chunks of dead organic matter. Decomposers, in contrast, often don&#8217;t have mouths, so they must externally digest the dead organic matter. They break the matter into simpler parts, often dissolving it, and then absorb the broken-down matter. Fungi and bacteria are examples of decomposers. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers return some nutrients directly to the ecosystem. Other organisms also eat detritivores and decomposers, and nutrients return to the ecosystem in this way, too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4.png 800w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-4-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/8thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-w-1-determine-the-meaning-of-domain-specific-words-with-pictures\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Determine the meaning of domain-specific words with pictures 8th W.1 Determine The Meaning Of Domain-Specific Words With Pictures by Delta publications key notes : What are Domain-Specific Words?
