Question

Part A d-Glucose units joined by beta-1,4-glycosidic linkages are not digestible by humans because o humans lack the enzyme necessary to hydrolyze this linkage O all groups being equatorial in the glucose rings make the chains too stable to digest o it is a glycoside and therefore, indigestible . It is unbranched and therefore, Indigestible O all the above Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback

Answer 1

Cellulose is an example of the above concerned polymer of glucose. They are not digested by the humans but easily digested by the ruminants such as cows. This is because humans lacks the enzyme to break the glycosidic linkage present in the cellulose molecules.

Choice A is correct
