Best Answer

Carbohydrate are in many forms. Glycogen is the form of carbohydrate in foods. It is broken by the enzyme amylase in saliva to form disaccharide eg. maltose which is broken down by maltase to form monosaccharide eg. sucrose which is broken down by sucrase to form glucose and fluctose. Fluctose is converted to glucose and glucose is absorbed by the gut and transported to the liver by hepatic portal vein and storage as grycogen or used for energy.
