What would happen if the small intestine is the same length as the large intestine?

Under the assumption the intestines would give the same amount of work per cm of length as the ones you have do... If the two intestines were as long as the large intestine currently is, you'd have to eat a lot more than you do now to get proper nutrition. The small intestine pulls nutrients out of the food, and the longer it has to work, the more it can get. If the two intestines were as long as the small intestine currently is, your stool would be excruciatingly dry. The large intestine draws water from the stool, and if it was over four times longer than it now is, you'd really be in trouble.


Why is the small intestine so much longer then the large intestine?

The large intestine isn't "smaller" than the small intestine -- it's shorter. Digestion takes place in the small intestine therefore more surface area is needed for nutrient absorption. The primary role of the large intestine is to absorb water along with a few nutrients and to form and transport stool.
