Nutrition and Digestion

The process of consuming nutrients to utilize them for various biological purposes is known as nutrition. The substances absorbed from food are known as nutrients. They serve different important functions in the body, such as repairing wounds and damages, generating energy for metabolism, and regulating biochemical reactions.

carbohydrate?
7. Our digestive system produces an enzyme called amylase that breaks starch (amylose) apart into
molecules of glucose. But amylase enzyme does nothing to cellulose. What do you see in the structure
of cellulose that explains this?
