Question

why do herbivores need a longer small intestine 60 to 70 word pls

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

herbivores eat grass so longer small intestine in their body helps them to digest the cellulose rich grass. whereas carnivores have small intestine meat is easy to digest
