● It is composed of a long chain of several hundred to many thousands of linked Glucose units.
● Unlike starch, humans cannot digest cellulose due to the lack of necessary enzymes.
Information Booster:
● Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth.
● It is used extensively in the production of paper and textiles (like cotton).
● Ruminant animals like cows can digest cellulose with the help of specialized gut bacteria.
Additional Knowledge:
● Fructose – Known as "fruit sugar."
● Sucrose – Common table sugar, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.
