Cellulose is not a source of nutrients for humans because HUMANS CAN NOT DIGEST IT.
Cellulose is made up of beta acetal linkages chemical bonds, these chemical bonds can only be broken by a specific enzyme and humans do not have these enzymes, thus, cellulose can not be digested by humans.

Why are leaves the most common source for sugars in a plant?????? HELPPP
NemiM [27]
It is because leaves are the main users of photosynthesis in a plant. The sunlight seeps into the leaves, and the leaves transform the sunlight's energy into sugar; their food.

I hope this helps! :)

photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use electron transport chains. what is the source of electrons for photosynthesis a
goldfiish [28.3K]

Water serves as an electron source in the electron transport process of photosynthesis. The electron is extracted from water by using solar energy.

What is the electron transport chain's source of energy?

The electron transport chain uses the energy released by oxygen and reduced compound reactions such as cytochrome c and (indirectly) NADH and FADH2 to pump protons into the intermembranous space, producing the electrochemical gradient over the inner mitochondrial membrane.

In photosynthesis, water is split to produce electrons in the presence of sunlight, a process known as the photolysis of water. The electrons are finally transferred to NADP+ by the chloroplast electron transport chain, where they are reduced to NADPH.

Therefore, In aerobic respiration, electrons from NADH and FADH2 are transferred to oxygen by the mitochondrial electron transport chain to reduce oxygen in the water.
