Question

Why do herbivores have longer, small intestine than carnivores ?​

Answer 1

Herbivores have a longer small intestine than carnivores because they eat plant and grass-based foods that are high in cellulose, which takes a long time to digest. ... Thus, Herbivores have a longer small intestine, which allows cellulose to be completely digested.

Answer 2

Answer :-

• Digestion of cellulose takes a longer time. Hence, herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow complete digestion of cellulose. Carnivorous animals cannot digest cellulose due to the absence of enzyme CELLULASE, hence they have a shorter intestine.
