Question

Why can’t we digest cellulose?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Humans cannot digest cellulose because they lack the enzymes essential for breaking the beta-acetyl linkages. The undigested cellulose acts as fibre that aids in the functioning of the intestinal tract.

Answer 2

Cellulose is the fibre. Hence it can't be easily digested. In order to digest it, our human body needs specific enzymes. But these enzymes are not synthesized in our body. Therefore cellulose can't be digested.
