  1. well it depends on how long the meat is cooked for but if the meat is rare i would say that is would be harder to digest but is its cooked a little bit that it might make it a little easier


  2. Plants are more difficult to digest Thats why herbivores need a longer small intestine as compared to carnivore to allow the cellulose to be digested

  3. Rvnesque is correct.  It may also be worthwhile to note that herbivores invariably possess far larger and more complex digestive systems than do carnivores for precisely this reason- consider the multiple stomachs of the cow.

  4. Plants are more difficult in a way because of their cellular walls. They are made up of Cellulose which the human stomach can't digest and can only pass through.  Meat may seem like it would be harder, but our stomach acids and biles can do it...unlike the cellulose from plant matter.

  5. meat is easier to digest for humans but for other animals mainly cows.. digesting the hard cellulose content of the plant is much easier because these animals have vermiform appendix <still functional>whereas in humans this part of the body has attained vestigility in the process of evolution....so digesting the cell wall becomes quite difficult....hope it helps
