Glucose is the key food molecule for most organisms, and it is the central substance in carbohydrate metabolism. During digestion, carbohydrates are hydrolyzed to the monosaccharaides glucose, fructose, and galaxies, which are absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine.

Carbohydrate metabolism begins with glycolysis , which releases energy from glucose or glycogen to form two molecules of pyruvate, which enter the Krebs cycle (or citric acid cycle), an oxygen-requiring process, through which they are completely oxidized.
