An increase in the bulk of muscle cells that occurs as a result of exercise is known as what?

What is cellulose fiber?
Roughage covers many different types of fiber. Cellulose is a fiber. Roughage is a dietary fiber, called cellulose that is the part of a plant that cannot be digested by the human digestive system. Roughage retains water and adds bulk to food. Roughage helps correct large intestine disorders and keeps it functioning normally.
Is dietary fiber the same as fiber?
There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, like oatmeal. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve, but is important to bulk up and clean the colon.
What is indigestible material made of?
Indigestible material is primarily made up of insoluble fiber. This plant materials adds bulk to the feces.
How does fiber help us?
Fiber is a carbohydrate that consists mainly of cellulose. We don't completely digest and absorb fiber, because we don't have the enzymes required to disassemble it. Fiber provides bulk to the intestinal contents, maintains digestive health, reduces the risk of colon cancer, and may reduce insulin spikes and the risk of type 2 diabetes.There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber stimulates peristalsis-the rhythmic contractions that move food along the digestive tract, preventing constipation. Soluble fibers increase the viscosity of food, which slows the movement of food through the intestines, preventing diarrhea.Fiber helps you feel fuller and more energetic.Easy bowel movements.
What carbohydrate helps your digestive system function even though your body can't digest it?
Insoluble fiber is the carbohydrate that helps your digestive system. It adds bulk that assists the muscles of your intestines to function properly.
What accounts for the bulk of the epidermal thickness?

Which foods increase the waste products of the human body?

What is Metamucil made out of?

What are water insoluble carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates which do dissolve in water are insoluble carbs. Examples of insoluble carbohydrates are fiber in food and cellulose in plant. Carbohydrates are made from a chain of many monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, lactose etc. They are held together by bonds. If these bonds can be broken by dissolving in water, the carb is called soluble. Our body uses enzymes to break these bonds. For example starch is a chain of several glucose molucules hed together by alpha glucoside bonds. Alpha glucosidase is the enzyme used by the body to break these bonds and convert starch into individual glucose molecules. Insoluble fiber is made of chains of monosaccharides held together by beta glucoside bonds. Our body does not have the enzyme (thankfully! why?) to break these bonds. Therefore insoluble fiber, which is also a carbohydrate, is not itself digested by the body but does great help in increasing the bulk size of the stool and in sending some lipids out of the body in the form of bile.
