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
What else can I help you with?
Do animals produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose?
No. Animals do not produce enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose. (From Master Bio - Chapter 41).
What you expect to get if you hydrolyze a glycogen molecule?
glucose molecules because glycogen is stored glucose formed from glucose linkages
Which of these carbohydrates is impossible for humans to digest cellulose amylose glycogen galactose?
cellulose
What is associated with carbohydrates?
monosacchsride, glycogen and cellulose
Which of the carbohraydrates is a polysaccharide?
Starch, glycogen, cellulose
What carbohydrates a polysaccharide?
starch cellulose glycogen
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.
What kind of biochemical are both cellulose and glycolgen?
Cellulose and glycogen are polysaccharides.
Example of polysaccharides?
Glycogen, starch, Cellulose and chitin
What are three polysaccharides?
Examples: starch, cellulose, glycogen.
How are glycogen starch and cellulose related?
They are all polysaccharides.
What are water insolubles?
Polysaccharides such as: starch, glycogen and cellulose
