Which one of the following statements is correct?

Options

  1. AStarch on complete hydrolysis gives fructose
  2. BLactose on hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose
  3. CGlucose on slow oxidation to CO ₂ and H ₂ O by enzyme does not liberate energy
  4. DCellulose is not digestible in human body

Correct answer

D. Cellulose is not digestible in human body

Step-by-step solution

Cellulose is a polysaccharide which holds or binds many small monosaccharide units together by glycosidic bonds. The type of glycosidic bond present is of ( )-1,4 bond. Which cannot be broken down by enzymes present in human body. Thus, we cannot digest cellulose.
