Humans can digest starch because they produce an enzyme called amylase that can break down starch into simpler sugars. However, humans lack the enzyme needed to break down cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. This is why humans cannot digest cellulose.
What type of glycosidic bond humans can digest?
Humans can digest α-glycosidic bonds found in starch and sucrose, which are broken down by enzymes like amylase and sucrase.β-glycosidic bonds, found in cellulose and some oligosaccharides, cannot be digested by humans as they lack the necessary enzymes like cellulase.
Can we digest beta glycosidic form?
No, humans lack the necessary enzymes to digest beta glycosidic bonds. These bonds are typically found in indigestible fibers like cellulose.
Give example of an organic substance that are found in a living organisms?

What sugars can't be digested by humans?
Humans cannot digest the sugar called cellulose, which is found in the cell walls of plants.

Additionally, humans also cannot fully digest sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, resulting in potential digestive issues when consumed in large amounts.

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. ;)

Can humans digest leaves and why?
With high stomach acid levels, we as humans can pretty much digest most organic materials and compounds, however at one point humans were able to digest grass and leaves and one point thousands of years ago. Evidence is found in our appendix a small useless organ that at one point secreted enzymes that helped digest leaves/grass, with evolution this organ wasn't necessary and slowly shrank giving no function to the body. People can live without the appendix.
