Question

assertion -herbivores have larger small intestine than carnivores reason - complete digestion of food takes place in small intestine​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) Both A And R are True but R is not the correct explanation for A.

Why?

Herbivores do have a larger small intestine due to the fact that they have to digest hard substances such as cellulose. Carnivores do not have larger small intestine because they only consume meat.

Complete digestion of food takes place in small intestine. Proteins such as lipase and typsin act on proteins and emulsified fats. The undigested portion is let out via the anal sphincter.

However these two statements may talk about intestines in general but do not have any dependency. They are not like herbivores have larger small intestines - because they digest cellulose or they do not have complete digestion of food takes place in small intestine - proteins act on the digested food.

Hence option b) is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

For Assertion:

• Herbivore animals only eat plants and grass based food.
• Plants contain cellulose, and cellulose takes time to metabolize.
• The length of the small intestine varies with food habits.
• That's why herbivores have larger small intestines than carnivores.

For Reason:

• The small intestine lies between the stomach and large intestine.
• It is the biggest organ of the digestive tract and most of the metabolism and nutrient and mineral absorption take place in this organ.
• So, the complete metabolism of food takes place in the small intestine.

So, assertion and reason are both true but reason is not the explanation of assertion.
