Science
The length of small intestine in a deer is more as compared to the length of small intestine of a tiger. The reason for this is :
- Mode of intake of food
- Type of food consumed
- Presence or absence of villi in intestine
- Presence or absence of digestive enzymes
Answer
Type of food consumed
Reason — The length of the small intestine differs in various animals depending on the food they eat. Herbivores eating grass need a longer small intestine to allow the cellulose to be digested. Meat is easier to digest, hence carnivores like tigers have a shorter small intestine.
