Classifying animals based on their dentition practice exercise 3

During a nature walk, pupils observed the teeth of a lion, a cow, and a pig. Classify each animal as either a carnivore, herbivore, or omnivore and explain how the dentition of each animal supports its classification. (3 marks)

During a school debate, two pupils argued that lions and zebras could not survive if they switched diets.a) Explain why a lion would struggle to survive on a zebra’s herbivorous diet using dentition as evidence. (1 mark)b) Explain why a zebra would not be able to survive on a lion’s carnivorous diet using dentition as evidence. (1 mark)

In Turkana, a prolonged drought has forced some herbivorous animals to scavenge meat for survival. Discuss the challenge these animals face due to their dentition. (1 mark)

Kevin and Wanjiku are preparing for a science quiz. They come across this question: "Why do cows and lions have different types of teeth?" Help them write a short answer explaining the reason based on feeding habits and dentition. (2 marks)

Observe the human dentition diagram below. a) Identify each type of tooth shown in the diagram and its function. (3 marks)b) Explain how the presence of all these teeth types benefits omnivores like humans. (1 mark)

When examining the skulls of a sheep, a lion, and a chimpanzee, which animal's skull provides the best evidence for a highly flexible diet, and what specific features support this conclusion? (2 marks)

When examining the skulls of a sheep, a lion, and a chimpanzee, which animal's skull provides the best evidence for a highly flexible diet, and what specific features support this conclusion? (2 marks)

You are handed a skull with small flat incisors, large pointed canines, and sharp-edged molars. Based on these features, describe the likely feeding habits of the animal and explain how its dentition supports this behavior. (2 marks)
