Chitin and celulose are hard to digest because THEY BOTH HAVE AN ALTERNATING ARRANGEMENT OF GLUCOSE MOLECULES, HOWEVER CELLULOSE HAVE HYDROGEN BONDS WHILE CHITIN HAS AMINO GROUP BONDS. Humans does not have enzymes that can break the beta acetal linkages that are present in cellulose, thus they can not digest cellulose.

The provided question is incomplete as it lacks the image required to identify the, however the correct image is attached:

Answer:

B is protein

C is the process of translation

Explanation:

The given image is a flow chart representation of the process of the protein synthesis from the DNA molecule by a two-step process that is combinedly known as the central dogma.

The first step is a transcription in which an RNA molecule (mRNA) is synthesized from the DNA molecule in organism nucleus (in eukaryotes only). The second step is to making a polypeptide chain of amino acid with help of rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA, this process is known as translation and represented in the image as C and B is the protein that formed.

Thus, the correct answer is - B is protein

C is the process of translation
