Cellulose is indigestible to humans because it acts as a hydrophyllic bulking agent to human feces. It is consist of non-starch polysaccharides. Its a soluble fiber, that's why cellulose is indigestible.

Cellulose is organic.
Cellulose fiber is not digested by the human digestive system, but also bear in mind that digestion does not work with 100% efficiency, so even nutrients that we digest are not completely digested. Anything not digested will, in due course, be eliminated in the form of a bowel movement.
Cellulose and starch are used by plants for building material with starch also serving as a storage molecule that can be converted to glucose for energy.

Cellulose (plant fiber)
The cell wall is made of cellulose. Not only hard, but nearly indigestible.
Cellulose
Primarily cellulose, which unlike animal cells, use cellulose for their cell walls instead of phospholipids. Most animals lack the ability to digest cellulose, except for ruminants like cows, which have an enzyme called cellulase to break this down.
Cellulose is indigestible to humans.
Cellulose from plants because it takes too long to digest
proteins, carbohydrates and fats, (fiber is a carbohydrate that is indigestible, typically cellulose)
In cows and other herbivores, their natural flora of bacteria break down cellulose and make it something they can digest, but in humans our bacteria have no effect on cellulose, so for us it is indigestible.
None. Humans can't digest cellulose. Bacteria in the large intestine can digest some cellulose, creating gas and vitamin K.
Cellulose. My sources: I got it right on my quiz. (:
Dietary fiber is any indigestible sugar polymer (e.g. cellulose, pectin, chitin, inulin, oligosaccharide) or other any similar indigestible plant polymer (e.g. lignin).
