Question

question 3 (1 point)
humans can digest beta glucose, but not alpha glucose.
true
false

Explanation:

Humans can digest alpha - glucose (e.g., starch which has alpha - 1,4 and alpha - 1,6 linkages and is digested by amylase). But humans lack the enzymes (such as cellulase which can break beta - 1,4 linkages in cellulose) to fully digest most beta - glucose containing polysaccharides (except for some like lactose which has a beta - 1,4 linkage but is digested by lactase).

Answer:

False
