Generally, animals cannot digest (hydrolyze) the glycosidic linkages between the
glucose molecules in cellulose. How then do cows get enough nutrients from eating
grass?
The flat teeth and strong stomach of herbivores break the cellulose fibers so that the
cows get enough nutrition from the cell contents.
They have to eat a lot of grass.
Cows and other herbivores are exceptions and make some cellulose-digesting enzymes.
