Answer 2

A. Herbivores have longer digestive systems than carnivores have.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can conclude that the herbivores have longer digestive systems compared to carnivores.

Carnivores feeds on other animals whereas herbivores eats plants.

• Most herbivores have a four stomach compartment system that helps them process and digest their food.
• This is because they have to process cellulose in plants which needs to be properly broken down.
• Flesh eating carnivores do not require this arrangement.
• The four stomach compartment of most herbivores includes Rumen, Reticulum, omasum and abomasum.
• They also chew the cud whereby they regurgitate food materials.
