Though our bodies do not enzymes that is required to digest cellulose, it is necessary in addition to a healthy diet has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Human beings don’t have an enzyme to digest cellulose.

Cellulose is a fiber which moves fast through intestinal tract.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
If both cellulose and starch are just polymers of glucose, why can we only get glucose from starch, while cellulose cannot be digested by our bodies? What is missing for cellulose?
If starch can be used as a source of energy, why does the body break it down into glucose?
Many vegetables are “blanched” (dropped into boiling water) for a few minutes before being frozen. Why is blanching necessary?
