Salivary amylase is not able to digest cellulose. Amylase has the ability to digest starch but cellulose is a fibre which in indigestible.
Amylase cannot bind the cellulose molecule to its active site because cellulose has a helical shape.
No it cannot.
Yes, amylase can break down glycogen.
no
no
You may not be able to digest your food in the stomach area it would just stay there and build up until eventually you vomit .
Starch
Actually ruminants cannot digest cellulose, they have symbiotic bacteria in a part of their stomach called a "rumen" digest the cellulose down to sugars and starches that the ruminants can actually digest in another part of their stomach later.
A: Humans are unable to digerst cellulose. Explaination: Long story short, we lack the necessary enzymes since cellulose has a different structure than other carbohydrates that we are able to digest i.e. starches.
You wouldn't be able to digest starch.
Micro-organisms, such as bacteria, are able to digest cellulose. No mammals are able to digest cellulose. This is because cellulose contains a β(1,4) linkage that no mammalian enzyme can break. This is why herbivores must have symbiotic bacteria somewhere in their digestive system that help them break down cellulose.
Animals such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, and termites have symbiotic bacteria in the intestinal tract that contain the enzymes that allow them to digest cellulose in the GI tract. No vertebrate (animals with an internal skeleton) can digest cellulose directly; all must use the enzyme to break down cellulose.
Ants cannot digest cellulose. Termites can, but only because of symbiotic microorganisms in their digestive system. Termites are sometimes called white ants but they belong to a completely different insect order.
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.
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
cellulose basically found in plants human being can not digest the cellulose but animal can digest very well and easily specially herbivores animals. we see that cellulose not digest in human being but its important nutrients for human beings becoz its contain fiber which non digest able carb. the function of die trey fibers decrease the absorptions of glucose cholesterol form in intestine
None. Amylase breaks down starch into sugars, generally into the monosaccharde glucose and disaccharide maltose (double glucose). Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, and the amylase enzymes are not keyed for this pair and thus cannot split it up. Sucrase is required for that.
