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). Larger, more “complex carbohydrates” are made by stringing together chains of glucose subunits into di-saccharides, tri-saccharides, poly-saccharides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are covalently attached to many different biomolecules, including lipids, to form glycolipids, and proteins, to form glycoproteins. Glycoproteins and glycolipids are often found in biological membranes that allow other biomolecules to interact and bind to the protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Macromolecules provides the most energy, of all biomolecules. It provides 9 calories per gram.
