What else can I help you with?
Is cellulose a disaccharide?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide
Plant cells store glucose as a polysaccharide called?
The cell walls of plants can actually have two layers. The primary structure is a polysaccharide known as cellulose (which is actually not digestible when consumed by humans). Later in the plant's life a second cell wall can be developed using a molecule known as lignin which is quite rigid even after the plant has died.
Can lactase break down cellulose?
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.
What is the basic unit of cellulose?
basic unit of cellulose is glucose
Is there cellulose in beans?
Yes, cellulose forms the cell walls of all plants
What is the undigested part of food that promotes peristalsis?
fiber
What is the only thing the human body cant digest?
The human body cannot digest cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls. While we can break down some forms of fiber, cellulose remains undigested as our digestive enzymes cannot break its bonds.
Can humans digest carbohydrates?
Most carbohydrates, yes. Though there are a few carbs, notably cellulose (fiber), that pass through the alimentary canal unchanged and undigested.
What is undigested food wastes of humans called?
Feaces
What do you call in undigested material which is stored in the rectum?
ummmm.....nature's little gift of love....poop.
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
Why are you advised to eat salad which is rich in cellouse and you cannot digest cellouse?
Undigested cellulose is fibre. Fibre gives your gut muscles something to push against and prevents them from atrophying.
What is the elimination of undigested material from the digestive tract called?
Defecation or elimination is the process of removing undigested food (feces) from the body.
Can you digest cotton balls?
No you cannot. Cotton balls contain mostly cellulose fiber. And the digestive system of humans does not have the ability to break down the cellulose into more simple carbohydrates that can be absorbed into the body. So if you did try and eat one, it would only come out the other end, undigested.
Why is cellulose not absorbed by the body?
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and a major component of plant cell walls, consisting of long chains of glucose molecules. The human digestive system lacks the necessary enzymes, specifically cellulases, to break down cellulose into its glucose components. As a result, cellulose passes through the gastrointestinal tract largely undigested, contributing to dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes gut health. Thus, while cellulose is not absorbed, it plays a beneficial role in maintaining digestive function.
What is undigested food called?
tomato seeds and its thin upper layer
What is removal of undigested and unabsorbed solid residues of food from the body called?
Bile
