Although Cellulose Is a Carbohydrate Made of Polymerized Glucose Molecules

question 151

Multiple Choice

Although cellulose is a carbohydrate made of polymerized glucose molecules, the usual enzymes such as amylase that break down carbohydrates in your mouth and small intestine do not have any effect on cellulose.

• A)They may have specialized chambers in the foregut that harbor populations of symbiotic anaerobic bacteria that break down cellulose.
• B)They may have a cecum that houses symbiotic anaerobic bacteria that break down cellulose.
• C)They have a multichambered stomach that has very low pH and particularly active form of pepsin for digesting plant proteins.
• D)They may have food take longer to pass through the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed.
