BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Your digestive system breaks down carbs into glucose or blood sugar. Your bloodstream absorbs glucose and uses it as energy to fuel your body. The amount of carbs you consume affects blood sugar. Taking in a lot of carbs can raise blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Digestion of Carbohydrates Digestion of starches into glucose molecules starts in the mouth, but primarily takes place in the small intestine by the action of specific enzymes secreted from the pancreas (e.g. -amylase and -glucosidase).

Detailed explanation-4: -The small intestine, pancreas, and liver From there, the wall of the small intestine begins to make lactase, sucrase, and maltase. These enzymes break down the sugars even further into monosaccharides or single sugars. These sugars are the ones that are finally absorbed into the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-5: -The digestive tract begins to break down carbohydrates into glucose, which is used for energy, upon consumption. Any extra glucose in the bloodstream is stored in the liver and muscle tissue until further energy is needed.
