Fibre is a carbohydrate that the body cannot break down.
It is very important for functionality of the digestive system and to control glucose absorption and other functions that we are learning about.
Fibre is in a form of soluble and insolubles. Both are needed and beneficial to our bodies
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that humans cannot digest. It all depends on what kind of fiber it is.

Starch! We have amylases to digest them!!
Complex answer: Cellulose is a polysaccharide that provides structural support for plants. Humans cannot digest cellulose. Thus, you cannot digest wood, which is mostly cellulose. :Simple answer Humans cannot digest the carbohydrate cellulose. Soures:AP biology class, Textbook :3
No I once tried it and just pooped it out... seriously my poo was florescent green! Chlorophyll is found in plants, and plants and humans are very much different. If you don't believe me buy some and let the colourful poo flow through you. ;)
The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose. Approximately 33 percent of all plant material is cellulose. Humans cannot digest cellulose, but animals such as cows and horses can digest cellulose for food.
Cellulose is a polysaccharide in plants that serves as a building material.

cellulose
Yes, it is a polysaccharide found in cell walls of plants.
The cell wall of the plant is made from polysaccharides, which consist of two or more monosaccharides. Polysaccharides job in the cell wall is storage, while some other polysaccharides like starch are stored to be changed into energy.
Yes, cellulose is structural polysaccharide
Yes, it is. Though some animals such as termites can digest cellulose, we humans can't. Cellulose is the thing that gives plants their structural integrity. Contrary to some other polysaccharides like starch, it is connected through b-bonds. Only certain bacteria can break those bonds to digest the polymer, and humans don't have these bacteria. Another indigestible polysaccharide is Chitin. The shells of crabs and lobsters are made of Chitin, among other things.
Starch is a storage polysaccharide. it is found in plants in the form of amylose and in the form of amylopectin.
