Answer:

No, we don't get any energy from the cellulose in the uncooked vegetables you eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellulose contains just as much energy as starch because both molecules consist of glucose subunits. It is only possible to use that energy by burning or cooking and other cellulose materials.
