Insulin is a hormone that helps lower blood glucose levels.

The process of breaking down glucose to produce energy is called glycolysis.

Carbohydrate digestion refers to the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller units that can be absorbed by the body.

Glucose synthesis from non-carbohydrate sources, called gluconeogenesis, is important for maintaining blood glucose levels when fasting.

Carbohydrate structure and function cover topics like monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, and their roles in energy, structure, and cell signaling.
