a: cellulase ~
b: molecular chain saw
What:
cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose. It does this by breaking the bonds between the glucose monomers that constitute this naturally occurring polymer. In practice is usually a mixture of several molecules acting together. To mix this metaphor, it could be a "wolf pack" of enzymes.
