Cellulose is indigestible by animals because they lack the enzyme Cellulase.

Cellulose is the polysaccharide which is the main constituent of plant cell wall. It consists of chains of glucose monomers. Animals like human beings lack the enzyme Cellulase which is necessary for the digestion of cellulose.  

Hay and grasses are rich in cellulose and therefore, both are indigestible by human beings. Animals like cows and horses also do not possess the enzyme cellulase, but they harbor microbes which help in the digestion of cellulose.

Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of enzyme = 32 g

Volume of water = 42.50 mL

Volume of water+ enzyme = 48.0 mL

Density of enzyme = ?

Solution:

Density is equal to the mass divided by volume.

First of all we will calculate the volume of enzyme.

Volume of enzyme = (volume of water+ enzyme ) - Volume of water

Volume of enzyme = 48.0 mL - 42.50 mL

Volume of enzyme =  5.5 mL

Density of enzyme:

d = 32 g/  5.5 mL

d = 5.8 g/mL

2)

Given data:

Mass of cup = 14 g

Volume of cup = ?

Density of cup = 2 g/cm³

Solution:

Density is equal to the mass divided by volume.

Formula:

d = m/v

2 g/cm³  = 14 g/  v

v = 14 g/2 g/cm³

v = 7 cm³

3) What are the four ways to measure matter?

weight, mass, volume, density

4) Given data:

Mass of rock = 18.5 g

volume of rock = 3cm³

density of rock = ?

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d  = 18.5 g/ 3cm³

v = 6.16 g/cm³

5)

Given data:

mass = 6g

density = 8 g/cm³

missing value = ?

Solution:

d = m/v

8 g/cm³ = 6g / v

v = 6g/8 g/cm³

v = 0.75cm³

6)

Given data:

Volume of liquid in cylinder = 48 mL

Volume of toy car and liquid = 52 mL

Volume of car = ?

Solution:

Volume of car = volume of of toy car and liquid - Volume of liquid in cylinder

Now we will put the values.

Volume of car = 52 mL - 48 mL

Volume of car = 4 mL
