Detailed explanation-1: -The major function of carbohydrates is to provide energy. The body uses glucose to provide most of the energy for the human brain. About half of the energy used by muscles and other body tissues is provided from glucose and glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are energy-providing feed components composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They should make up about 75 percent of an animal’s diet. The energy they pro-vide powers muscular movements. Carbohydrates also produce the body heat that helps keep the animal warm.
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary function of carbohydrates is for short-term energy storage (sugars are for Energy). A secondary function is intermediate-term energy storage (as in starch for plants and glycogen for animals).
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The carbohydrate used to store energy in animal cells is: (d) glycogen. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose.
