    Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth where salivary amylase breaks down starches and glycogen. In the small intestine, pancreatic amylase completes starch digestion. The end products of carbohydrate digestion - maltose, sucrose, and lactose - are further broken down into simple sugars like glucose and fructose and absorbed into the bloodstream through active or passive transport across the intestinal lining.

    CARBOHYDRATE

    METABOLISM
    CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM
    Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
    DIGESTION is the biomedical process by which food molecules, through hydrolysis, are broken down into simpler chemical units
    that can be used by cells for their metabolic needs.

    1. MOUTH
    Salivary a-amylase begins digestion of starch (plants) and glycogen (meats).
    2. STOMACH
    (gastric juice__NO EFFECT on digestion)
    3. SMALL INTESTINE
    (primary site of carbohydrate digestion)
    Pancreatic amylase completes starch digestion
    4. END PRODUCTS of CARBOHYDRATE DIGESTION
    a. occurs on the outer membranes of INTESTINAL MUCOSAL
    CELLS
    b. INTESTINAL LINING (Villi) by
    -Active Transport
    -Passive Transport
