B) Cellulose provides fiber or "roughage."
C) Cellulose is another name for glucose.
D) Cellulose is one of the units of a sucrose molecule.
E) Cellulose is a source of energy.

Cellulose provides fiber or "roughage" in the human diet, which aids in digestion and maintaining a healthy digestive tract. Humans cannot digest cellulose due to the lack of the enzyme cellulase, making it an important dietary fiber rather than a direct source of energy.
