BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Both simple and complex carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) in the body and are used as energy. Glucose is used in the cells of the body and in the brain. Any unused glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen for use later.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body converts carbohydrates mostly into glucose for immediate energy and into glycogen or fat as stored energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starches, cellulose, and glycogen are among the highly complex carbohydrates. Two forms of polysaccharides, starch, and cellulose are synthesized by plants. Starch is the main form in which plants store carbohydrates as energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Complex carbohydrates have two main functions: storing energy and forming structures of living things.
