Animals that eat woody plants lack an enzyme that is important in what process?
A. Dehydration synthesis of glucose monomers
B. Hydrolysis of cellulose
C. Digestion of Cellulose
D. answers A, B, and C
E. Answers B and C

i was leaning for C, because lignin (which is in wood) is hydrophobic, so i dont think an animal would eat wood for hydrolysis of cellulose... which would cut out answer D.
but im terrible at biology and my professor doesnt explain anything.

E. hydrolysis is part of the process of digesting cellulose. animals don't have the enzyme to perform it, nut the microbes in the animals bodies do.
