Solnce55 [7]3 years ago

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'.

On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).
