Detailed explanation-1: -The four primary functions of carbohydrates in the body are to provide energy, store energy, build macromolecules, and spare protein and fat for other uses. Glucose energy is stored as glycogen, with the majority of it in the muscle and liver.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -In plants, carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis are well known for their essential role as vital sources of energy and carbon skeletons for organic compounds and storage components.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
