Considering the diversity of digestive systems among animals, some have intracellular digestion, where food is digested inside cells, while others have extracellular digestion, where food is degraded in the extracellular space before being absorbed. Based on these concepts and your understanding of different types of animals, predict which type of digestion, intracellular or extracellular, would be more efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter and why?

Intracellular digestion would be more efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter, as it allows direct absorption of nutrients by cells.

Neither intracellular nor extracellular digestion would be efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter, as cellulose is indigestible.

Intracellular digestion would be more efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter, as it allows the direct breakdown of cellulose inside cells.

Extracellular digestion would be more efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter.

Both intracellular and extracellular digestion would be equally efficient for an animal that has a diet mainly based on fibrous plant matter.
