Cellulose Branching I understand that humans cannot digest cellulose because there are no branches to break down the polysaccharide chain. But why can cellulose not form branches?
Humans cannot digest cellulose because they do not have the enzymes needed to do so. These are called cellulases, which you can read about here. Ruminants, that need to digest the cellulose in grass, also cannot produce cellulases, but they host bacteria to do the job for them in their rumen.
