Answer:
Cellulose is a polysaccharide which has strong glycosidic bonds. Its digestion takes a longer time. Hence, herbivores who eat grass/green leafy vegetables need a longer small intestine to allow complete digestion of cellulose. Carnivores animals cannot digest cellulose, hence, they have a shorter intestine.
