Humans have enzymes called -amylase in saliva and pancreatic juices that hydrolyze the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of starches, but not the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose. Thus, humans cannot digest cellulose. Animals such as horses, cows, and goats can obtain glucose from cellulose because their digestive systems contain bacteria that provide enzymes such as cellulase to hydrolyze -1,4-glycosidic bonds

Do animals produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose?
No. Animals do not produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose. (From Master Bio - Chapter 41).
What would you expect if you hydrolyze cellulose?
glucose
What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
What are the examples of oligosaccharides?
Glycogen, Cellulose, and Starch are all examples of Polysaccharides.
Which is dieWhis of these is dietary fiber Glycogen Sucrose Cellulose Starch?
cellulose
An example of a polysaccharide that is used for energy storage in humans is?
STARCH in plants. GLYCOGEN in animals.
Why difference properties of cellulose and glycogen?
cellulose is found in cell wall of plant cell while glycogen is reserve food material in fungi
Which of these carbohydrates is impossible for humans to digest cellulose amylose glycogen galactose?
cellulose
What carbohydrates a polysaccharide?
starch cellulose glycogen
What is associated with carbohydrates?
monosacchsride, glycogen and cellulose
Which of the carbohraydrates is a polysaccharide?
Starch, glycogen, cellulose
What are three important polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed ofglucose. Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. They range in structure from linear to highly branched.
