3CHEMISTRY AND BIOCHEMISTRYPart 1The purpose of digestion, absorption and metabolism of carbohydrate is to break downthe complex bio-molecules into simple glucose. Glucose is the primary source of fuel within thebody. The overall rate of carbohydrate digestion and absorption is dependent upon the rate ofbreakdown of the glucose. The pancreases and liver plays significant role on the metabolicactivity of glucose secretion of essential enzymes.GlycolysisGlycolysis is the first step in the process of carbohydrate metabolism, where the glucosemolecule is broken down into pyruvate, which is a three carbon molecule. In the due processenergy is formed within the body in the forms of ATP. There are ten steps within the process ofglycolysis that take place within the cytosol of the cell. The entire process can be broken downinto two phase. In the preparatory phase (first 5 steps) energy is consumed to convert glucose to2 3-C sugar phosphates.C6H12O6 + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 P -----> 2 pyruvic acid, (CH3(C=O)COOH + 2 ATP + 2 NADH+ 2 H+The next phase of the carbohydrate metabolism is the pay-off phase, where ATP is beingproduced as the glucose molecule is being converted to pyruvate. This explains the breakdown ofcarbohydrate rich meals consumed by John.The Citric acid Cycle The pyruvate so formed has different fate depending upon the presence or the absence ofoxygen. It includes a series of chemical reactions that are used to release energy through acetylCoA oxidation that is derived from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Pyruvate is converted to
