Give reason:Carbohydrates provide good roughage.?

Answer 1

Structural Polysaccharides: Cellulose and chitin are examples of structural polysaccharides.
Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on earth. It is made of glucose, like starch, but they differ in the type of 1-4 linkage. Instead of an @ linkage as in starch cellulose contains a B 1-4 linkage.
This causes the polysaccharide to take on a step arrangement and not a linear one like in starch.
Enzymes find it difficult to brake the B 1-4 linkage. So many animals including humans cannot digest cellulose.

Answer 2

I don't believe there is any connection between carbohydrates and roughage. Roughage usually is associated with fiber which is not digestible. Carbohydrates are digestible. A better way of asking your question may be .....do foods high in carbohydrates generally also contain fiber and hence roughage. Meat, fish, etc
are almost all protein and fat with little fiber and roughage to company them. Vegetables are mostly carbs and contain cellulose and fruits are mostly carbs and contain fiber. But a lot of refined foods are pure carbs and contain no fiber and hence no roughage.

Answer 3

The majority of plants are cellulose, a type of carbohydrate. Cellulose is fiber or what is called roughage.

Answer 4

Vegetables, fresh fruits (especially dried fruits) and whole wheat, bran, or oatmeal cereals are excellent sources of fiber. Thease raw foods contain carbohydrates, sugars , phytic acid and phytates which are the real fiber part of foods
Very much refined cereals,and bottled fruit juices lose the fiber content
