Is cellulose a disaccharide?
Cellulose is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide
Plant cells store glucose as a polysaccharide called?
The cell walls of plants can actually have two layers. The primary structure is a polysaccharide known as cellulose (which is actually not digestible when consumed by humans). Later in the plant's life a second cell wall can be developed using a molecule known as lignin which is quite rigid even after the plant has died.
Can lactase break down cellulose?
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.

What is the undigested part of food that promotes peristalsis?

Starch
What is the elimination of undigested material from the digestive tract called?
Defecation or elimination is the process of removing undigested food (feces) from the body.
Can you digest cotton balls?
No you cannot. Cotton balls contain mostly cellulose fiber. And the digestive system of humans does not have the ability to break down the cellulose into more simple carbohydrates that can be absorbed into the body. So if you did try and eat one, it would only come out the other end, undigested.
Were does undigested food leave in the Paramecium?
Undigested food leaves the Paramecium through a structure called the anal pore, which serves as the organism's anus. The anal pore is located at the posterior end of the Paramecium and allows undigested food particles to be expelled from the cell.
What is removal of undigested and unabsorbed solid residues of food from the body called?
Bile
What is undigested food called?
tomato seeds and its thin upper layer
