Digestion transforms polysaccharides into simpler sugars, primarily monosaccharides like glucose. This process begins in the mouth with salivary amylase and continues in the small intestine with enzymes like pancreatic amylase. The resulting monosaccharides are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be used for energy by the body.
