Monosaccharides and polysaccharides play fundamental roles in energy metabolism, serving as primary sources of fuel for living cells. Monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose, are simple sugars that can be readily absorbed and utilized by cells. Glucose, in particular, is central to cellular metabolism. It enters the cell via specific transporters and undergoes glycolysis in the cytoplasm, where it is converted into pyruvate while generating a small amount of ATP and NADH. Pyruvate can then enter the mitochondria for the tricarboxylic acid
