The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding cellulose. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I - **Statement I**: "Cellulose is not digested by human beings." - **Explanation**: Human beings lack the necessary enzyme (cellulase) to break down cellulose into its monomeric units (glucose). Therefore, this statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II - **Statement II**: "Cellulose is a polymer of beta-D-glucose." - **Explanation**: Cellulose is indeed a polymer made up of beta-D-glucose units. The glucose units are linked together by beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming long chains. Therefore, this statement is also **true**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - While both statements are true, Statement II does not provide a correct explanation for Statement I. Statement I is about the inability to digest cellulose, while Statement II describes its structure. ### Conclusion - Both statements are true, but Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I. Thus, the correct option is **B**: Both statements are true, but Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I. ---
