Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The final product of carbohydrate digestion is monosaccharides such as glucose, galactose, fructose, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dietary carbohydrates are digested to glucose, fructose and/or galactose, and absorbed into the blood in the small intestine.

Detailed explanation-3: -The goal of carbohydrate digestion is to break down all disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides for absorption, although not all are completely absorbed in the small intestine (e.g., fiber).

Detailed explanation-4: -The end product of carbohydrate digestion is mainly glucose together with some fructose and galactose (monosaccharide).

Detailed explanation-5: -During digestion, complex sugars are broken down into monosaccharides and absorbed into the bloodstream. Monosaccharides, the simplest sugars, include glucose, galactose and fructose. Digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach and intestine.
