Humans don't have the enzymes required to digest it. Cellulose is made up of sugars, but they are intertwined in a more complicated way than starch.

What is the difference between the function of glycogen amylase and cellulose?
All these substances play a major role in the Enzyme activity in plants and animals. Glycogen is the source of energy for the muscles of the body of the human body. Amylase is an enzyme that helps in the making of starch for plant use. Cellulose on the other hand is the primary sugar that allows plants to be able to make their own food
What is the Use of ethyl cellulose in floating tablets?
to decrease the density of the tablet so it can flow over the gastric contents
How does a fiberizer work for making cellulose fiber insulation?
A Fiberizer we use as secondaire pulper in the recycle paper pulper.
Which is a source of chemical energy commonly used by humans?
Many energy sources commonly used by humans are forms of chemical energy. They are usually labeled "fuels." The way to use the chemical energy in most fuels is by burning them, as we do with wood, natural gas, gasoline, coal, and others.
What is cellulose products used for?
uses of celluloseCellulose is a fibrous material found in most plants. Cotton for example is almost pure cellulose. Cellulose is used for making fibers for clothing etc. and is also an ingredient in many chemical substances such as paint and lacquers. Mixed with certain acids in the process of "nitration" it is a basic ingredient in nitro-cellulose, and several old fashioned explosives and special gun powders (for example "gun-cotton").
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.
Where do humans get there energy?
Humans use food for energy.
What type of energy do humans use?
Humans use muscular energy, sound energy and many other
How is cellulose the material cell walls are made use of by humans?
In making synthetic fiber
What nutrients are found in a peanut shell?
Peanut shells lack nutrients that humans can use. They are mostly cellulose. Some organisms can break down cellulose into sugars.
Natural resources that humans use to generate energy are called?
Natural resources that humans use to generate energy are called energy resources.
What are the ways humans can use energy from food and how do you use these energy uses in sports?
Humans use the chemical energy from food as fuel for the muscles that make us move.
Why do humans have to have food?
Humans need food to use for energy, without energy we die basically.
Can humans use chakra?
they can use for getting positive energy and releasing negative energy.
Why are plants energy converters?
Plants use photosynthesis to turn sunlight (radiant energy, light) into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds such as sugars, starches, and cellulose.
How is sun energy used for benefit of humans?
99.999% of all energy that humans use is originally form the Sun.
What other product of photosynthesis besides oxygen do humans use?
The primary product is glucose which plants use as building blocks to make other sugars such as sucrose (table sugar). They also make starch to store energy and cellulose (fiber) which we often use for making cloth such as cotton and linen.
