«Various biochemical processes responsible for the metabolic formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydrate in livingorganisms.
Carbohydrate are central to many essential metabolic pathways.[1]Plants synthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis, allowing them to store energy absorbed from sunlight internally.[2] When animals and fungi consume plants, they use cellular respiration to break down these stored carbohydrate to make energy available to cell.[2] Both animals and plants temporarily store the released energy in the form of high energy molecules, such as ATP, for use in various cellular processes.[3]
Although humans consume a variety of carbohydrate, digestion breaks down complex carbohydrate into a few simple monomers (monosaccharides) for metabolism: glucose, fructose, and galactose.[4] Glucose constitutes about 80% of the products, and is the primary structure that is distributed to cell in the tissues, where it is broken down or stored as glycogen.[3][4] In aerobic respiration, the main form of cellular respiration used by humans, glucose and oxygen are metabolized to release energy, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.[2] Most of the fructose and galactose travel to the liver, where they can be converted to glucose.[4]
Some simple carbohydrate have their own enzymatic oxidation pathways, as do only a few of the more complex carbohydrate. The disaccharidelactose, for instance, requires the enzyme lactase to be broken into its monosaccharide components, glucose and galactose.[5]» (wikipedia)
