If starch and cellulose are both polymers of glucose, how come people can digest starch but not cellulose?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Explanation:

Cellulose is a structural component of the plant cell wall. It is a polysaccharide consisting of a long linear chain of multiple β - 1, 4 linked glucose units.

Cellulose is difficult for most animals to digest except herbivores because they lack the ability or enzyme to digest cellulose. This enzyme needed is the cellulase which cleave to its β - 1,4 glycosidic bond and hydrolysis it into its constituent molecules (glucose).

The ________ is the decorated niche inside a mosque that indicates the direction of Mecca.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Mihrab".

Explanation:

  • A semicircular niche throughout the wall of a mosque showing the qibla; that is, the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca, and hence the way that Muslims will face while they pray. Thus the wall into which a mihrab appears was the "qibla wall."
  • A chanter calling for people to pray. Fana is a religious figure; in fact, a few of Muhammad's hereditary predecessors, worshiped in Shiite Islam.
  • It is traditional, when entering a mosque, to remove somebody's shoes and put them on the entrance rack. This is accomplished out of respect and also to avoid soiling the interior floor of the prayer hall — prayer halls do not have chairs or benches, just row after row of carpets, aligned to face the holy sites of Mecca in Arabia.
