The difference is mainly due to the complexity of carbohydrate digestion. Humans have a single stomach, where ruminants have a multichambered stomach to digest carbs more completely.

Digestion is a biological process that existed long before humans did. Nobody invented it.
Digestion is the PROCESS of breaking food down so that it can be used by a body. In humans, PART of that process involves an acid in your stomach.
cellulose which is present in grass can be digested by ruminants but cannot be digested by humans
following are the non ruminants..........HUMANS,PIG,MOUSE,HORSE etc
Unicellular eukaryotes achieve intracellular digestion through the process of endocytosis, phagocytosis, and use of food vacuoles and lysosomes. A paramecium is an example of an organism that uses intracellular digestion vs. humans which utilize extracellular digestion.
Cellulose digestion differs between ruminants (such as cows, sheep, and goats) and non-ruminants (such as humans, pigs, and horses) due to the differences in their digestive systems and microbial activity. Ruminants Ruminants are able to digest cellulose due to the unique structure of their stomachs, which consists of four compartments: the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. Rumen and Reticulum: These compartments host a large population of microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) that are capable of breaking down cellulose into simpler compounds like volatile fatty acids (VFAs), methane, and gases. This process is known as fermentation. The cellulose is first mechanically broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva before being fermented by microbes.
It is Cellulose
Digestion in humans is the process by which nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in the food consumed are broken down to its respective components.
No, it affects only ruminants
Cellulose
Ruminants have a multi-chambered stomach that allows them to regurgitate and re-chew their food to aid in digestion, while monogastric animals like humans and pigs have a single-chambered stomach. Ruminants have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in their stomachs that help break down cellulose from plant material, while monogastric animals rely on enzymes and gastric acids for digestion.
