Question
question 48 which type of carbohydrates are humans unable to digest? a monosaccharides b polysaccharides c disaccharaides d cellulose
Brief Explanations
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates and are easily absorbed. Disaccharides are broken down into monosaccharides during digestion. Many polysaccharides can be digested by human - produced enzymes. However, cellulose is a polysaccharide that humans cannot digest because we lack the enzyme cellulase which is required to break the beta - 1,4 - glycosidic bonds in cellulose.
