Best Answer

They are different by the way they are made up. They are each composed of different isomers. Cellulose is exclusively a plant product.

Glycogen is nicknamed "animal starch" and is found in the liver and in muscle tissue.

Plants produce starch from mono saccharides as a result of photosynthesis.

How starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by the yeast?

Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...

How does starch differs from cellulose?

starch is soluble in water, on the other hand cellulose is insoluble. also, the glucose molecules in starch and cellulose are linked differently, making it impossible to be broken down by humans.

WHY starch and cellulose require different digestive enzymes?

Starch and cellulose require different digestive enzymes for the same reason that different locks require different keys. The specific shape, and distribution of electrical charge in any given molecule determines the specific enzyme that will be needed to digest it. Every chemical is different.

Why are starch and cellulose considered different compounds even though they are built from the same monomer?

Starch and cellulose are both polymers built from glucose, but the glucose molecules are arranged differently in each case. Having different arrangements means that starch and cellulose are different compounds. They serve different functions in the plants that make them. Your body also uses starch very differently from the way it uses cellulose.
