∙ 14y agoAccording to my last nutrition course, and book, Understanding Nutrition, 9th Ed., by Whitney and Rolfes, 2002, cellulose speeds up GI transit, it delays the absorption of glucose, and it increases the weight of fecal matter (thereby promoting bowel movements). It is found in all plant materials, including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Major sources of celluose in food include various brans, whole-grain breads, cereals, and vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, and brussel sprouts.
It promotes health in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

∙ 8y agoCellulose fibers are fibers made with ether or esters of cellulose, which can be obtained from the bark, wood or leaves of plants, or from a plant-based material. Besides cellulose, these fibers are compounds of hemicellulose and lignin, and different percentages of these components are responsible for different mechanical properties observed.

What is the only thing the human body cant digest?
cellulose
Why does the body need cellulose?
It is a structural polysaccharide,it builds up structures.Mainly cellwalls.Biggest fraction of plant's dryweight is due to cellulose.
What is a useful complex carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by your body?
glucose
What polysaccharide cannot be digested by humans?
Polysaccharide cannot be used as an energy source by humans because they are hard to break down. Enzymes find it difficult to break them down into glucose for the body to use as energy.
What monomer does cellulose have?
cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose. cellulose is a polymer. it a chain of repeating monomers. the monomer for cellulose is glucose.

What is undigested cellulose called?
Your body cant digest cellulose but its pretty much just fiber
Does paper have fiber?
Paper has cellulose fiber but human body can't digest cellulose fiber.
How does the body handle starches and cellulose differently?
Though starch and cellulose are chemically made from the same elements, and in the same concentrations, the human body is able to break down starches into simple enough sugars to absorb, while the human body cannot break down cellulose.
What is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest?
cellulose
Why is your body not digesting vegetables?
vegetables contain cellulose and the human body cannot digest that

Is the fiber in your diet really cellulose?
u cant find cellulose in ur body u can only find it in plants structure :)
