Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the type of reaction that is involved in the digestion of carbohydrates.

Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are the biomolecules composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Carbohydrate molecules are joined together by glycosidic linkage. Carbohydrates are an important source of energy; therefore, they are an important part of human nutrients.

Carbohydrates are classified as monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide, and polysaccharide. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrate units which cannot be hydrolyzed further to give the smallest units. Disaccharides contain two monosaccharide units. Oligosaccharides contain 3 to 10 monosaccharide units. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates that contain many carbohydrate units that vary from 100 to 50,000 monosaccharide units.

Digestion is defined as the biochemical process by which the food molecules are broken down into small chemical units through hydrolysis and these simpler chemical units are used by cells present in the body for their metabolic processes.
