Carbohydrate Metabolism
Carbohydrate metabolism is the biochemical process through which every carbon molecule passes through metabolism, catabolism, and interconversion in living beings. Carbohydrates are energy sources for plants and animals. Carbohydrate metabolism consists of various steps including digestion, absorption, transport, glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electron transport chain, gluconeogenesis, glycogenesis, and glycogenolysis. Through carbohydrate metabolism energy is stored in the form of ATP.
