Question

The small intestine of a lion is short in length than a deer

Answer 1

Answer:

The small intestine of a lion is shorter in length than that of a deer because of the following reasons:

Lion is a carnivore obtaining nutrients from meat , whereas deer is a herbivore and obtain nutrients (especially cellulose) from plants.

Meat is comparatively easier to digest due to presence of peptidase proteins in the intestine of lions.

However , cellulose digestion requires \boxed{\beta \:amylase}βamylase enzyme and the digestion process is very complex.

So, herbivores (ruminants) have longer intestine (4 chambered) for complete digestion of cellulose obtained from plants.

because lion has to digest flesh but deer has to digest cellulose that is why deer has long intestine than lion
