What are the three types of pathways involved in the utilization of carbohydrates and provide an example of each?
The three types of pathways are anabolic pathways (e.g., glycogenesis), catabolic pathways (e.g., HMP-shunt), and amphibolic pathways (e.g., Krebs' cycle).
Explain the three main components of carbohydrate metabolism and provide examples of each component.
Carbohydrate metabolism includes digestion, absorption, and utilization. An example of utilization is glycogenesis and lactose synthesis.
Why is excretion important in carbohydrate metabolism?
Excretion is important to eliminate metabolic waste products from the body to prevent them from reaching toxic levels.
