Question

Name the carbohydrate found in grass. Are humans capable of digesting it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The carbohydrate found in grass is cellulose. Humans are not capable of digesting it because the intestine of humans does not contain the bacteria that can break down cellulose and digest it.

Answer 2

Answer:

Cellulose

Explanation:

• It is a type of carbohydrate that can be digested by animals but not by humans.

• Animals have a large sac-like structure between small and large intestine where the food containing cellulose is digested by the action of certain bacteria.

• On the other hand, humans cannot digest cellulose, as the cellulose digesting enzymes are absent in them.
