Cellulose is a carbohydrate which is present in the plant cells. The cellulose is a polymer with glucose as the monomer units. The monomer units of cellulose is attached by the beta linkages. The cellulose provides structural support to the plant cells by forming micro-tubules. The humans cannot eat the diet rich in cellulose because they lack the enzymes that are needed to digest them. Some animals, such as cows and termites have these enzymes but not the humans.

Hence, the answer is 'people cannot digest cellulose'.

What is meant by the following statement about the cell membrane?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The cell membrane is semipermeable because allows only certain molecules to pass through.

Explanation:

Semipermeability is a common property of cell membranes, due to their predominantly lipid composition, which gives them a hydrophobic character.

The cytoplasmic membrane is constituted by a double layer of lipids, in addition to structural proteins and glucides, which prevent the entry of polar or charged molecules. This characteristic allows lipids and small molecules without charge to pass freely through it.

Regarding the other options:

<em>     A. Cell membranes are associated with lysosomes, structures that contain enzymes. However, this characteristic is not related to semipermeability.</em>

<em>     C. They allow the passage of small molecules - devoid of charge - through them.</em>

<em>     D. Not all non-polar molecules pass through, as some need a transporter.</em>
