Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fungi are known to be very effective at breaking down cellulose due to the presence of cellulose-digesting enzymes. Cows, horses, and other animals rely on symbiotic microorganisms in their digestive tract to break down cellulose. Humans lack the necessary enzymes to break down cellulose entirely, which is why we cannot digest it and it passes through our digestive system as dietary fiber. Plants produce cellulose rather than breaking it down.
