Answer:
Cellulose forms the
largest part of an 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
in less.
