Answer

Unable to hydrolyze Beta 1-4 linkages

Explanation

Cellulose is present in the plant structure. It is insoluble in water and aqueous solution. Humans do not have the necessary bacteria in their intestines that produces the enzyme cellulase required to break down the beta 1,4 linkage of cellulases. So we cannot break down the bond and are unable to digest these polysaccharides.
