Answer:

Cellulose forms the largest part of the herbivore’s food. Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time, because the enzymes are produced by the ruminant bacteria that live in the gut of the herbivore. Longer small intestine ensures that the food stays for a longer duration and proper digestion is possible. In the case of carnivores, cellulose is not present in the diet, thus the length of small intestine is less.

hope it helps..

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

small intestine in herbivores is longer than of carnivores because herbivores like cows mainly eat plants like grass, etc. which contains cellulose, an organic compounds present in the walls of green plants. This cellulose is undigestable by human beings or carnivores. Therefore in order to digest this polymer, herbivores have longer small intestines.
