Question

Which of the following has the longest small intestine?

Options

• carnivore

• omnivore

• herbivore

• autotroph

Answer 1

herbivore

Explanation:

Herbivores have the longest small intestine because they eat plants, which contain a tough substance called cellulose. Cellulose is very difficult to digest, so a longer intestine provides the extra time and surface area needed to fully break it down and absorb the nutrients.
