<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Carbohydrate catabolism is the breakdown of carbohydrates into smaller units. Carbohydrates are usually taken into cells after they have been digested into [[monosaccharide]]s. Once inside, the major route of breakdown is [[glycolysis]], where sugars such as [[glucose]] and [[fructose]] are converted into [[pyruvic acid|pyruvate]] and some ATP is generated. Pyruvate is an intermediate in several metabolic pathways, but the majority is converted to [[acetyl-CoA]] through aerobic (with oxygen) glycolysis and fed into the [[citric acid cycle]]. Although some more ATP is generated in the citric acid cycle, the most important product is NADH, which is made from NAD<sup>+</sup> as the acetyl-CoA is oxidized. This oxidation releases [[carbon dioxide]] as a waste product. In anaerobic conditions, glycolysis produces [[lactic acid|lactate]], through the enzyme [[lactate dehydrogenase]] re-oxidizing NADH to NAD+ for re-use in glycolysis.</div>FuzzyBot
