What is the function of carbohydrates in your body?
A
Speed up chemical reactions.
B
Give immediate energy.
C
Help to store energy.
D
Build cell walls in plants.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Glucose provides energy for all body cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates can be used as an immediate source of energy by largely all cells, but in many photosynthetic organisms a major portion of the carbohydrates will be used for production of structural compounds, e.g., cellulose in cells walls, or for synthesis of storage products such as starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although energy also comes from fats and proteins, carbohydrates provide an immediate source of energy to the body in the form of glucose.
