Question

Which one of the following statements is correct? (A) Starch on complete hydrolysis gives fructose (B) Lactose on hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose (C) Glucose on slow oxidation to CO 2 and H 2 O by enzyme does not liberate energy (D) Cellulose is not digestible in human body

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cellulose is a polysaccharide which holds or binds many small monosaccharide units together by glycosidic bonds. The type of glycosidic bond present is of (β)-1,4 bond. Which cannot be broken down by enzymes present in human body. Thus, we cannot digest cellulose.
