    Study Notes

    Carbohydrate Metabolism

    • The primary purpose of digestion in the context of carbohydrate metabolism is to break down carbohydrates into simpler molecules, such as glucose, that can be absorbed and utilized by the body for energy.

    Glycolysis

    • The phosphorylation of glucose to yield glucose 6-phosphate occurs in the first stage of glycolysis.
    • The end product of glycolysis is pyruvate.

    Anaerobic Pathways

    • Anaerobic pathways, such as fermentation, do not require molecular oxygen as a participant.

    Energy Production

    • The main form of chemical energy produced during glycolysis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH.
