Why can we digest cellulose but notglycogen?

a) Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of alpha 1, 4glycosidic bonds that we cannot break down

b) Glycogen is highly branched and we do not have theenzyme necessary to remove these

c) Cellulose is a linear molecule made up of beta 1, 4glycosidic bonds that we can break

d) all of the above

e) none of the above- we cannot break down cellulose.
