Video from Ninja Nerd on YouTube
2.1.1 Outline the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Why this video
It thoroughly explains the enzymatic breakdown of polysaccharides and disaccharides along the GI tract as well as the transport mechanisms (SGLT1, GLUT5, and GLUT2) for enterocyte absorption.
Heads up
Ensure you use this course's strict biophysical stoichiometry of 2 Na+ to 1 glucose for apical transport via SGLT1 if the video simplifies it to 1:1.
