Question
fructose and galactose are mostly metabolized in which of the following organs?
o a. liver
o b. gallbladder
o c. small intestine
o d. stomach
Fructose and galactose are monosaccharides. After absorption, they are transported to the liver. In the liver, they are metabolized. The liver plays a crucial role in processing these sugars, converting them into glucose or other forms that can be used by the body. The gallbladder stores bile (not involved in sugar metabolism). The small intestine is for absorption (not main metabolism site for these sugars). The stomach has a role in digestion (not specific for fructose - galactose metabolism).
