which of the following is made up of beta glucose and cannot easily be digested by humans?
cellulose
starch
glycogen
triglycerides
Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of beta - glucose units. Humans lack the enzyme cellulase, which is required to break the beta - glycosidic bonds in cellulose. Starch is made of alpha - glucose and can be digested by human enzymes like amylase. Glycogen is also made of alpha - glucose and is the storage form of glucose in animals. Triglycerides are lipids, not carbohydrates made of glucose units.
