What is Carbohydrate Metabolism and Digestion Explained about?
The brain is the most important consumer of glucose because it requires a steady supply of glucose for energy. Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth and involves enzymes breaking down carbs into monosaccharides like glucose in the small intestine which are then absorbed. Monosaccharides other than glucose must be converted to glucose before cells can use them. Key processes in carbohydrate metabolism include glycolysis which breaks down glucose, gluconeogenesis which forms glucose from non-carb sources
