Smart man!! LOL



two most important words you can use when you get married....

Yes Dear.



And then the omni important phrase: Whatever you say dear - or if the situation is VERY GRAVE - Whatever you THINK dear. . . giving hope to her that you actually DO value what she says.

I believe that falls under the "If Momma Aint Happy Aint Nobody Happy" clause... ;)

I'm not aware of any vertabrate animal which has cellulase.
I'm am aware of many animals that have commensal bacteria which digest cellulose. Most ruminants (cows sheep and horses etc..) and termites have symbiotic bacteria which break down the cellulose into simpler sugars that the organism can digest.


But as with everything I post I could be wrong:P

We all have the enzymes but to varying degrees. Some folks have a shortage and some have a little more. Eitherway, we do as a whole tend to have the ability to break down veggies into sugar; however, it is a very small amount, especially when compared to other animals.


no, its not about being able to break down "a lot or a little". We can break down starches into sugars, but not cellulose.

Both are polymers of glucose molecules.

Cellulose is insoluble & undigestible because the glucose molecules are connected by beta 1-4 bonds. that means that there is an oxygen atom connecting between two carbons, such that one glucose sugar is upside down in reference to the one its connected to. And mammals don't have the enzyme that fits that structure.

We can break down starch, which is exactly the same, but the adjacent glucose molecules are oriented in the same direction, an alpha-1-4 glycosidic bond. And that will fit into the active site of the enzyme amylase.
