Why do human beings not digest cellulose??
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 8 years, 3 months ago

Humans, unlike cows for ex. don't have the necessary bacteria in their intestines that make the enzymes(cellulases) necessary to breakdown the 1-4 beta glucose bonds. So we cannot break down cellulose into its constituent glucose molecules as we do with starch.No vertebrate can digest cellulose directly.
