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.

Is glucose or sucrose more easily digested by humans?
Glucose and sucrose are both as easily digested as the other by humans. This is because they are both simple sugars.
Plants contain a substance known as what which cannot be digested by cow?
The answer to that would most likely be cellulose or lignin. Cows can break this substance down, but not completely, and as such cannot be entirely digested in their stomachs.
Is potato starch a mono di or poly saccharide?
it is a polysaccharide
Is Maltese a polysaccharide?
Is Maltase a polysaccharide
Is cellulose a polysaccharide?
yes it is a polysaccharide as it is a polymer of glucose
What polysaccharide is found in plant cells and cannot be digested by humans?
Mostly it is the cellulose. It cannot be digested
What kind of polysaccharide cannot be digested by human beings?
Humans cannot break down cellulose because it contains beta glucose and the enzymes that humans have cannot break down beta glucose.
A polysaccharide that is made by plants and can be digested by humans is?
Starch! We have amylases to digest them!!
What type of carbohydrate can only be digested by ruminants and not humans by?
cellulose which is present in grass can be digested by ruminants but cannot be digested by humans
What happen to polysaccharide when they are digested?
Starch.because we have amyloses to digest.
What is found in the cell wall of plants cannot be digested by humans?
cellulose
Which of the following cannot be digested by humans-sucrose maltose cellulose or fructose?
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
Which carbohydrate cannot be digested by humans and how does it help in digestive system?
cellulose. humans do not possess the enzymes necessary for its digestion.
What carbohydrate that cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes?
Celulose. Some humans also cannot digest lactose aka someone who is lactose intolerant.
Why must disaccharides and polysaccharide be digested before an organism can use them?
Because organisms use (metabolize) monosaccarides.
What is the difference between soluble Non-Starch Polysaccharide and non-soluble Non-Starch Polysaccharide?
soluble is absorbed into the blood and non soluable isn't digested it passes through the body. soluble is absorbed into the blood and non soluable isn't digested it passes through the body.
Can glycogen be digest?
Glycogen can be digested by humans. Chitin and Cellulose, also knows as fiber, can not be digested by humans.
