So our body can easily break down the alphagly acidic bonds. However, other sugars other polymers of sugars. For example, in cellulose, which is found on plants, contains beta glycocitytic linkages. And our body does not contain the proteins to digest to break down these betaglycolytic linkages. So we can only break down the alphaglyic acidic linkages. Now, the process by which the majority of the cells in our body actually absorb the glucose across the cell membrane involves passive diffusion.
