41. The length of small in testine in a deer is more as compared to the length of small intestine of a tiger. The reason for this is - (a) Mode of intake of food. (b) Type of food consumed. (c) Presence or absence of villi in intestines. (d - Presence or absence of digestive enzymes.
Answers
Answer:
It is option (B) Type of food consumed
Explanation:
The length of small intestine in a deer is longer because of the food it eats... Let's take that the deer eats grass
Grass contains cellulose which is a part of the plant cell wall
which is actually hard to break... So to digest cellulose a deer has a longer smaller intestine...
But why doesn't a tiger have a longer small intestine...
It's because a tiger eats meat which contains proteins, which is easier to digest. That's why they don't have a longer small intestine...The same applies to humans too...
Hope you understand :)
Answer:
The correct option is B) Type of food consumed.
Explanation:
Herbivores consume cellulose-containing food like plants. Studies show that carnivores are unable to digest cellulose due to the lack of an appropriate enzyme called beta acetal linkages. Digestion of cellulose in the small intestine takes more time. Deer is a herbivore and a tiger is a carnivore. So the length of the small intestine is larger in deer than in tigers.
