Question 41

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 :

  1. Mode of intake of food
  2. Type of food consumed
  3. Presence or absence of villi in intestine
  4. 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.
