Starch and cellulose
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago

Answer: Starch and cellulose are both polysaccharides, and most animals can break down starch for energy but not cellulose.

Explanation: The reason cellulose is hard to metabolize by most animals for energy is due to the beta acetal linkages of its glucose monomers. This makes these linkages inaccessible to many energy enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic. These enzymes break down alpha linkages such as those in starch.
