The main difference between a blind gut and a through gut is the way in which food passes through the digestive system.

Blind Gut:
- In a blind gut, also known as a sac-like digestive system, food enters and exits through the same opening.
- Food is digested and absorbed in the same cavity without any specialized compartments.
- Examples of organisms with a blind gut include flatworms and jellyfish.

Through Gut:
- In a through gut, also known as a tube-like digestive system, food enters through one opening and exits through another.
- Food travels through specialized compartments for digestion and absorption, such as the stomach and intestines.
- Examples of organisms with a through gut include humans, dogs, and many other vertebrates.
