________ is a Type of Indigestible Polysaccharide

Question

________ is a type of indigestible polysaccharide.
A) Glycogen
B) Starch
C) Cellulose
D) Sucrose
E) Galactose

Accepted Answer

Cellulose is an indigestible polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls of plants. Humans lack the enzyme to break down cellulose, so it passes through the digestive system undigested. Glycogen is a polysaccharide used for energy storage in animals, while starch is a polymer of glucose used for energy storage in plants. Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose, while galactose is a monosaccharide often found in milk products.
