RE: Why can't humans survive on grasses?

in #stemng8 years ago

Ruminant have the enzyme cellulase too which makes it easier for them to break down grasses. Also it cellulose is a polysaccharide and involves enzymes to be broken down just like starch too. Humans do not have cellulase making digestion of grasses and plant limited. Well said sir. Thanks @gentleshaid
