Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy and unhealthy foods-bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sugars and starches provide glucose, the main energy source for the brain, central nervous system, and RBCs. Glucose also can be stored as glycogen (animal starch) in liver and muscle or, like all excess calories in the body, converted to body fat. Dietary fibers are nondigestible forms of carbohydrates.
