  Carbohydrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carbohydrates are classified by their number of sugar units: monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose), oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides (such as starch, glycogen, and cellulose).
The simplest carbohydrates are monosaccharides, which are small straight-chain aldehydes and ketones with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon except the functional group.
Carbohydrates require less water to digest than proteins or fats and are the most common source of energy.

 Carbohydrate catabolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carbohydrate catabolism is the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller units.
Carbohydrates literally undergo combustion to retrieve the large amounts of energy in their bonds.
There exist different types of carbohydrates, these are polysaccharide (e.g., starch, amylopectin, glycogen, cellulose), monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, galactose, fructose, ribose) and disaccharides (e.g., maltose, lactose).

 Citric acid cycle
In these aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is a metabolic pathway that forms part of the break down of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water in order to generate energy.
The citric acid cycle is the second step in carbohydrate catabolism (the breakdown of sugars).
In protein catabolism, proteins are broken down outside the cells by protease enzymes.

 Carbohydrate : w8pedia
Certain carbohydrates are an important storage and transport form of energy in most organisms, including plants and animals.
Carbohydrates are classified by the number of sugar units into monosacchharides (such as glucose), disaccharides (such as saccharose), oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides (such as starch, glycogen, and cellulose).
Strictly speaking, carbohydrates are not necessary for human nutrition because proteins can be converted to carbohydrates—the traditional diet of some peoples consists of virtually no carbohydrate, and they are perfectly healthy.

''Anabolic'' and ''catabolic'' pathways in eukaryotes are separated by either compartmentation or by the use of different enzymes and cofactors.
Catabolism is a type of metabolic process occurring in living cells by which complex molecules are broken down to produce energy and reducing power.
The opposite of fat catabolism is fat anabolism, involving the storage of energy, and the building of membranes.

 More on Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates (literally hydrates of carbon) are chemical compounds that act as the primary biological means of storing or consuming energy, other forms being fat and protein.
A more precise definition of carbohydrates is: carbohydrates are polyhydroxyaldehydes, or polyhydroxyketones and their derivatives.
Strictly speaking, carbohydrates are not necessary for human nutrition because proteins can be converted to carbohydrates—the traditional diet of some peoples consists of nearly zero percent carbohydrate, and they are perfectly healthy.

Carbohydrate catabolism is of great importance to cell metabolism.
Most of a cell's energy is produced from the oxidation of carbohydrates.
Two molecules of ATP are used as a six carbon glucose molecule is phosphorylated, restructured and split into two 3 carbon compounds- glutarhyde 3-phosphate (GP) and dihydroacetone phosphate (DHAP).

 Calorie burning claims
The number of calories released from the consumption of oxygen during cellular metabolism differs slightly when carbohydrate, fat, or protein are the nutrient source.
Therefore, the difference in caloric expenditure between pure carbohydrate and fat catabolism, of an average healthy person exercising for 30 min at a VO2 (oxygen consumption) of 1.5 L/min, would amount to 14.4 Kcals (227.25 Kcals carbohydrates to 212.85 Kcals fat).
The contribution of carbohydrate and fat to energy metabolism (the process of chemical changes to provide energy) can be determined from the ratio between carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption.

Catabolism refers to chemical reactions that result in the breakdown of more complex organic molecules into simpler substances.
The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive anabolic reactions.
The two major types of glucose catabolism are respiration, in which glucose is completely broken down, and fermentation, in which it is partially broken down.

Fat catabolism, also known as lipid catabolism, is the process of lipids or phospholipids being broken down by lipases.
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport into the cell through the plasma membrane and ultimately for the polymerisation into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes.

Furthermore, using a hidden Markov model, we are able to separate each promoter into distinct high and low conservation regions.
Known regulatory motifs are strongly biased toward high conservation regions, while low conservation regions have mutation rates similar to that of the neutral background Certain Gene Ontology groupings of genes (e.g., Carbohydrate Metabolism) have large amounts of high conservation sequence, suggesting complexity in their transcriptional regulation.
