Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is a simple carbohydrate or “mono-saccharide.” Sugar is a source of quick energy for the body because it is easily metabolized (broken down).
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of quick energy because very little energy is required to break them down. There are three classes of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates: a molecule that is used by many plants and animals to store energy for a short time.
Detailed explanation-4: -The energy released during a catabolic reaction is conserved in the form of a high-energy molecule (ATP). The biomolecules which are undergoing catabolic reactions are carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.
