Interpretation: Humans cannot digest cellulose, which is made of the same monomers as starch is to be explained.
Concept introduction: Starch and cellulose are polysaccharides formed by linking glucose monomers.
Answer to Problem 90A
The glucose units of cellulose are joined by beta-glucose linkage, unlike the glucose units of starch, which are linked by alpha-glucose linkage. Humans lack the necessary enzymes to degrade the beta-glucose linkage.
Explanation of Solution
The glucose units that make up cellulose join through beta-glucose linkage, while starch links its glucose units through alpha-glucose linkage. Unfortunately, humans do not have the enzymes that are capable of breaking down the beta-glucose bond. Therefore, humans cannot digest cellulose.
The glucose units of cellulose are joined by beta-glucose linkage, unlike the glucose units of starch, which are linked by alpha-glucose linkage. Humans lack the necessary enzymes to degrade the beta-glucose linkage.

- Q9. The insecticide DDT (in the box below) is useful in controlling mosquito populations and has low toxicity to humans, but is dangerous to birds and fish. Hoping to alleviate the dangers, little Johnny Whizbang, an aspiring chemist, proposes a new version of DDT ("Bromo-DDT") and shows his synthesis to his boss. Will Johnny Whizbang's synthesis work? Or will he be fired? Assume there is an excess of bromine and polybrominated products can be separated. Explain why.
