Most organisms cannot digest (hydrolyze) cellulose Cellulose is a Structural polysacchar Parallel cellulose molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms 3 and 6. Organisms that can digest cellulose include the microorganisms living the gastrointestinal tract of many organisms typified especially by cows and termites and many fungi (i.e., the things that “eat” the wood of fallen trees) A cellulose molecule is an unbranched glucose polymer.
