Question

the location in your body where large carbohydrate molecules are broken down into smaller sugars that can enter the bloodstream

Answer 1

The small intestine — primarily the duodenum and jejunum. Pancreatic amylase and brush-border enzymes (maltase, sucrase, lactase) break polysaccharides and disaccharides into monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose), which are absorbed by enterocytes and enter the bloodstream. (Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth but is completed in the small intestine.)
