<span>Cellulose is a lot stronger than starch. Starch is practically useless as a material, but celluose is strong enough to make fibers from, and hence rope, clothing, etc. Cellulose doesn't dissolve in water the way starch will, and doesn't break down as easily.
</span>Your body contains enzymes that break starch down into glucose to fuel your body. But we humans don't have enzymes that can break down cellulose.

Bess [88]
Trichomonas vaginalis can be distinguished from other parasitic protozoa because it is responsible for urethritis and vaginitis in humans. It has an undulating membrane, it can infect the vagina in women, and it is often transmitted by sexual contact, so it can be considered an STD. Given that it can cause many complications in a woman's reproductive system, it should be treated immediately.
