Answer:

Cellulose stimulates the work of intestines and increases their discharge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of glucose polymers, which build plant fibers. Because of this, the plants possess their firmness.

Humans do not digest cellulose because they do not possess certain enzymes, but it is useful for their digestion because it stimulates the work of the intestines.

Cellulose enhances intestinal peristalsis. Peristalsis is series of contractions that allow the progressive movement of food through the digestive tract.
