Question

while animals consume cellulose whenever they eat plants, most animals cannot actually digest cellulose. in humans, cellulose helps push food through the digestive tract and supports gut health. people call cellulose in foods dietary fiber. describe the structure and function of cellulose. select the true statements. cellulose contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. cellulose is made from many units of the monosaccharide glucose. the long, parallel polymer chains in cellulose provide structure for cell walls. cellulose is easily digested by most animals.

Explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide. Its formula is $(C_6H_{10}O_5)_n$, so it contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is a polymer made up of glucose monomers. The long - parallel polymer chains contribute to the structure of plant cell walls. And as stated in the text, most animals cannot digest cellulose.

Answer:

Cellulose contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Cellulose is made from many units of the monosaccharide glucose.
The long, parallel polymer chains in cellulose provide structure for cell walls.
