Question:
Which of the following linkages makes cellulose unsuitable for human digestion
Which of the following linkages makes cellulose unsuitable for human digestion
Show Hint
The beta-D-glucosidic linkage in cellulose is resistant to human digestive enzymes which is why cellulose is not digestible
Updated On: Jan 3, 2025
- Alpha D-Glucosidic linkage
- Beta D-Glucosidic linkage
- Alpha L-Glucosidic linkage
- Beta L-Glucosidic linkage
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Cellulose is composed of beta-D-glucosidic linkages which humans lack the enzymes to digest making cellulose indigestible for humans
