Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are the body’s main fuel source. During digestion, sugars and starches are broken down into simple sugars. They’re then absorbed into the bloodstream, where they’re known as blood sugar (blood glucose). From there, glucose enters the body’s cells with the help of insulin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose, which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are the main energy source of the human diet. The metabolic disposal of dietary carbohydrates is direct oxidation in various tissues, glycogen synthesis (in liver and muscles), and hepatic de novo lipogenesis.
