  2. starch which is not digested
  3. lactose which is not digested
  4. DNA which can be digested by pancreatic DNase

Answer

(4) DNA which can be digested by pancreatic DNase

Solution

(1) Humans do not secrete cellulase, so cellulose is not digested.

(2) Starch is digested by salivary and pancreatic amylase.

(3) Potato contains no lactose (milk sugar).

(4) Potato cells contain nuclei with DNA; as per NCERT, pancreatic juice contains nucleases, so DNA is digested by pancreatic DNase.
