B) cellulose is made up of chitin, which is indigestible
C) the bonds holding cellulose subunits together are extremely strong, stronger than in any other macromolecule
D) there are many hydrogen bonds holding the subunits together
Cellulose is so difficult for most animals to digest because they don’t have the proper enzyme to break the bonds between subunits.
Further explanation
Cellulose
It is a polysaccharide compound which is difficult to be digested by animals because they don’t have the enzyme needed to break it. It has many monosaccharide molecules bind together by glycosidic bond.
Glycosidic bond
It is a covalent bond. It is formed between two monosaccharide with the removal of one water molecule. It is of two types, Alpha (between C-1 of one monosaccharide and C-2 of other monosaccharide) and beta (also between the C-1 of one monosaccharide and C-2 of another monosaccharide). Enzymes are required for breakdown of cellulose. In our body various enzymes are present for the breakdown of carbohydrates but these enzymes can never digest cellulose. Our enzymes are unable to break beta glycosidic bond but they can break the alpha glycosidic bond. A bond is present in glycogen and starch so these can be digested by human beings. It is thought that such enzymes are produced by vermiform appendix. In herbivores the enzymes which are required for the breakdown of cellulose are present in their digestive tracts so they can digest cellulose.
Animal which can digest cellulose
Grazing animals like cattle can digest cellulose because they have symbiotic bacteria in their intestine and these bacteria hep them in digestion because of special enzymes in them.

The answer for above statement:
D. heat content.
Explanation:
Enthalpy is a measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system. It includes the internal energy, which is the energy required to create a system, and the amount of energy required to make room for it by displacing its environment and establishing its volume and pressure.
Heat content - (thermodynamics) a physical science amount adequate the interior energy of a system and the merchandise of its volume and pressure.
Ans D) heat content
Enthalpy (H) is a thermodynamic state function which according to the first law of thermodynamics is a sum of internal energy (E) and the pressure- volume (PV) work.
i.e. H = E + PV
Thus, enthalpy is the total heat content of a system which includes contributions from both kinetic and potential energy.
Answer: The volume of stock HCl solution required to make laboratory solution will be 0.25L
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of stock solution required to make the laboratory solution, we use the equation:
where,
are the molarity and volume of stock solution.
are the molarity and volume of laboratory solution.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of stock HCl solution required to make laboratory solution will be 0.25L
Answer:
11.0L of carbon dioxide is produced
Explanation:
Balanced equation:
According to balanced equation, 1 mol of produces 1 mol of
So, 0.489 mol of produces 0.489 mol of
Let's assume behaves ideally.
So,
where P is pressure, V is volume , n is number of moles, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin
Plug-in all the values in the above equation-
or,
So, 11.0L of carbon dioxide is produced
