Answer
Answer =Most animals cannot
break down cellulose , whereas starch is easily digested
=
Explanation =
Cellulose differes from
starch in that
Most animals cannot break
down cellulose , whereas starch is easily digested
=
In most animals they have enzymes like as amylase which break
down starch into glucose ,which is used as fuel to our body.But
most animals like as humans do not have enzymes that is cellulase
to break down cellulose
Incorrect Options
=
Starch is made up of glucose monomers , whereas
cellulose is made up of fructose monomers = Both starch
and cellulose are made up of glucose monomers. Starch is made up of
alpha glucose monomers while cellulose is made up of beta glucose
monomers.
Cellolose is highly branched, while starch is unbranched
= Cellulose is unbranched structural polysaccharide.
starch is highly branched.It consists of two units that
is amylose & amylopectin.
amylose is straight chain consists of alpha 1,4 glycosidic
linkage, while amylopectin is branched chain subunit consists of
two linkages that are alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage & alpha
1,6 glycosidic linkage.Due to amylopectin starch is
highly branched structure.
Glycogen is formed by plants & cellulose by animals
= Glycogen is formed & stored in animals while
cellulose is structural carbohydrate in plants.
