Answer:
The small intestine is longer in herbivore than in carnivore because herbivores eat only grass which is full of cellulose and the digestion of cellulose takes a long time. Bile is a digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. The function of bile is to assist fat digestion and absorption in the gut.
