Enzymes are substrate specific; meaning that their active site only allows for a certain substrate to bind - in this case, pectin, and the enzyme has no effect on any other biological molecules
In a strawberry to extract the DNA it is required to break down the cell membrane (both the membrane protecting the cell as well as the membrane protecting the nucleus) and pectinase and cellulase in strawberries are enzymes that are break down these membrane...at least in a strawberry.
Some organisms cannot digest cellulose because they lack the necessary enzymes to break it down. Organisms like cows, termites, and certain bacteria have specialized enzymes that allow them to digest cellulose.
No, cellulose is not an enzyme. Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants, while enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms.
No, humans cannot break down cellulose and utilize it as a source of energy because they lack the necessary enzymes to digest cellulose effectively.
No, amylase cannot break down cellulose. Amylase is an enzyme that specifically breaks down starches, while cellulose is a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls that requires different enzymes, such as cellulase, to break it down.
Pectinase breaks down pectin and is really not one enzyme, but a collection of many enzymes. I am not sure how to make it.

No. Animals do not produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose. (From Master Bio - Chapter 41).
Enzymes are needed to break down cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate found in plants. Cellulase enzymes specifically target the beta-glycosidic bonds in cellulose molecules and break them down into simpler sugars like glucose. This process allows organisms to extract energy from cellulose through digestion or fermentation.
yes
cellulose.
Enzymes
Some organisms cannot digest cellulose because they lack the necessary enzymes to break it down. Organisms like cows, termites, and certain bacteria have specialized enzymes that allow them to digest cellulose.
Cellulose in grass can be broken down by ruminant animals such as cows, sheep, and goats that have specialized stomachs with microbes that produce enzymes to digest cellulose. The microbes ferment the cellulose into simpler compounds that the animal can absorb and use for energy. Humans, however, cannot digest cellulose as efficiently due to the lack of these specialized enzymes.
Cellulose is just a polysaccharide composed of glucose. If we had the digestive enzymes to break down cellulose into glucose, it would just mean tha we can get more energy from our diet without turning the cellulose into "roughage." Cows have a symbiotic relationship with certain kinds of bacteria that make the digestive enzymes. This is why cows and some other animals can break down cellulose and eat grass. If we had the enzymes to break down cellulose, we too would be able to eat grass!

glucose can't be absorbed from cellulose,as its a polymer,so cellulose is more stable compound,,if u can get the bacteria which is found in cow's stomach gut, u can converte your cellulose to glucose.
