HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Dietary carbohydrates provide glucose that body cells can use for energy. Excess glucose beyond what the body needs for immediate energy is converted into glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate, or converted into fat and stored in body fat cells. Glucose provides energy for all body cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are helpful in performing many functions such as breakdown of protein molecules, dehydration as well as eliminating ketosis. They serve as primary energy sources. They provide energy. They help in the regulation of blood glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are the nutrients most frequently used as an energy source (containing 4kcal per gram), as they are fast-acting and turn into energy as soon as they are ingested. This energy powers the brain and body. The energy that powers the brain and body is generated when carbohydrates are broken down.

Detailed explanation-4: -Respiration is the process which helps to break down the stored carbohydrates in the body to release energy. This takes place through the breakdown of C-C bonds of carbohydrates, to make the energy available to cells.
