Answer 1

Answer:

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU AND PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF YOU LIKE THE ANSWER.

Humans are unable to digest cellulose because they do not have necessary enzymes required for cellulose digestion, nor do they have symbiotic bacteria to perform the digestion for them; they can digest starch because they have the required enzymes to break it down.

Answer 2

Answer:

Humans cannot digest cellulose, but it is important in the diet as fibre. Fibre assists your digestive system – keeping food moving through the gut and pushing waste out of the body. Animals, such as cows, sheep and horses, can digest cellulose, which is why they can get the energy and nutrients they need from grass.
