Question

Why do herbivores have longer number than smaller carnivores

Answer 1

It's longer intestine
Because they have to digest cellulose and hard food where as carnivore eat flesh which is easy to digest
plz mark it as brainliest

Answer 2

Herbivores eat plant material, and cells in plants have a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose. However, animals cannot digest cellulose, no matter how long of a digestive transit time. Herbivores solve this problem by having special sections of their digestive tract which contain Symbiotic microbes - bacteria that don’t cause disease and actually help out their host. These microbes are specialized for breaking down cellulose, so they get to eat and the herbivores get to benefit from the digested plant matter. In horses this extra length of digestive tract is the Cecum, in ruminants - like cows, goats and sheep, it’s the ‘rumen’. Carnivores and most omnivores don’t have theses symbiotic bacteria to digest plant matter, or the extra sections of their intestines to house them. Carnivores can only extract nutrients from the plant cells that are crushed while chewing.
