Hey just me, Well, you've got no. 1. If you'll click the following link, I think it will answer all the rest of your questions. If you have trouble with that just Google "functions of the stomach" and look for Functions of Digestive Organs. It'll get you the answers without having to take all the abuse you are getting asking here and in Botany last week. Good luck.

I'll give you the answer to #1, but you'll have to study to get the rest. Typically in herbivores you will see mostly flat surfaced teeth, better for grinding as herbivores chew their veggies. Carnivore teeth are more pointed, better to rip and tear the flesh off their prey. Humans have a combination - incisors for ripping and tearing and molars for grinding.

I would try encarta.com. Also try e-mailing your doctor if he or she takes e-mails. I dare to go in there for a general checkup for $10 and ask all of these questions. That would be classic. Good Luck
