Actually, the microbes are the key to this question. The rumen and reticulum are just the holding vats of where the fodder from the pasture are digested and provides the mechanical form of digestion, and fermentation is the chemical process that is created by the microbes in the rumen in an anaerobic environment. Put all these together and you have your answer.
Ruminants rely on these microbes to break down the plant matter and release the nutrients from these plants--as well as synthesize their own, like Vitamin B12--in order to get the necessary energy, protein, vitamins and minerals for maintaining body function and meet other physiological requirements like growth, lactation and reproduction. These microbes synthesize an enzyme called cellulase which is designed to break down cellulose, an organic compound found in all plants (and is what gives all plants their structure and support) in order to accomplish this. The anaerobic environment is created when these microbes release carbon dioxide, methane and other organic gaseous or liquid compounds, and these gases need to be released regularly via eructation (or burping). A cow will burp once every minute of every day.
The microbes can't completely break down plant matter, though, so when the cow has eaten her fill, she regurgitates a bolus of partly digested digesta and rechews it, her saliva and chewing actions further breaking it down before swallowing and bringing up another bolus to chew again. This is called "chewing the cud." Her saliva does not have the enzyme to break down starch, but it does act as a buffer to maintain the pH (or acidity) level neutral in the rumen. A cow can easily produce 50 gallons of saliva per day.
The reticulum acts as part of the digestion process, acting as a storage place for foreign objects, and "readying" a part of the digesta from the rumen to be regurgitated and rechewed as cud. However, fermentation also takes place in this stomach chamber, but not nearly as much as in the rumen. (Note: if someone tells you that the rumen is a "storage" area, this isn't entirely true. An organ doesn't act as a storage area if something is constantly being done to the objects inside. The rumen is a home for millions of bacteria, fungi and protozoa, and is very much an ecological environment where these tiny organisms live and die.) The reticulum is known as the "hardware stomach."
Other organs not mentioned are just as important with ruminant digestion. After the plant matter has been digested, fermented, rechewed and fermented again enough, it goes to the third forestomach, called the omasum. Here water is removed from the many folds in this stomach chamber. From there, it moves into the abomasum, or the true stomach of the ruminant animal. The abomasum acts and secretes stomach acid and enzymes very much like our stomachs do. The rest of the digestion process follows like any other mammal.
No, a man is not a ruminant. A ruminant is an animal like a cow which digests plant material in a series of stomach compartments, with the help of bacteria.
They are the lysosomes. They contain digestive enzymes
Alcohol is produced as a byproduct of live yeast. The yeast digests the sugar from the mash and excretes alcohol. The process is called 'Fermentation'
Lysosome
Ruminant animals (cows etc.) have a bacterial population in their intestines that produces methane as it digests cellulose. The methane is emitted to the atmosphere. Methane is a greenhouse gas impacts global warming.
A ruminant is a mammal that has three forestomachs in addition to the true stomach--making four stomach chambers--and also possesses split or cloven hooves. It digests plant-based foods and/or feeds by initially softening it within the animal's first stomach, known as the rumen, then bringing it back up the semi-digested mass, now known as cud, and chews it again. The process of again chewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called "ruminating".
Digests protein much like monogastrics like cats dogs and humans are able to. The Abomasum is the "true stomach" of a ruminant.
The rumen is a large fermentation vat where bacteria and protozoa thrive and breakdown feeds to obtain nutrients for their purpose. It is the first stomach in the group of four (reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), the rumen is on the left side of the animal and gives the barrel (the belly) of the animal a pear shape.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum in a plant cell transports materials. It has enzymes and produces/digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins. It pieces off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum, transporting the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body and membranes.
