Carbohydrate
Description
Carbohydrates, also known as saccharides, are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These molecules can be divided by size and complexity in monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Glucose is a monosaccharide considered the primary source of energy in cells and a metabolic intermediate. This carbohydrate undergoes glycolysis, with generation of pyruvate, that can enter the TCA cycle.
Carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose may also be involved in the Crabtree effect.
