===Physiology=== Physiological adaptations to predation include the ability of predatory bacteria to digest the complex [[peptidoglycan]] polymer from the [[cell wall]]s of the bacteria that they prey upon.<ref name="JurkevitchDavidov2006"/> Carnivorous vertebrates of all five major classes (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) have lower relative rates of sugar to [[amino acid]] transport than either herbivores or omnivores, presumably because they acquire plenty of amino acids from the animal [[protein]]s in their diet.<ref name="KarasovDiamond1988">{{cite journal |last1=Karasov |first1=William H. |last2=Diamond |first2=Jared M. |title=Interplay between Physiology and Ecology in Digestion |journal=BioScience |volume=38 |issue=9 |year=1988 |doi=10.2307/1310825 |pages=602β611 |jstor=1310825}}</ref>
