Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates. Glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is a simple carbohydrate or “mono-saccharide.” Sugar is a source of quick energy for the body because it is easily metabolized (broken down).

Detailed explanation-2: -It is a monosaccharide which acts as an instant source of energy. Glucose present in the blood is transported to the cell. Inside the cell, glucose is quickly broken down by the aerobic respiration to yield energy in the form of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The energy released during a catabolic reaction is conserved in the form of a high-energy molecule (ATP). The biomolecules which are undergoing catabolic reactions are carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-4: -A biomolecule is a chemical compound found in living organisms. These include chemicals that are composed of mainly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus. Biomolecules are the building blocks of life and perform important functions in living organisms.
