ATP
Chemical Energy
A carbohydrate chain is one that is made of two to possibly hundreds of carbohydrate compounds that are called monosaccharides. When they are on membrane proteins they serve as recognition markers.
carbohydrate
When cell needs energy then the first molecule which is used is Glucose . If glucose level is low then Glycogen is broken down to get glucose . If glycogen is also in less amount then fats are broken down to get energy . Even then energy is needed then at last body Proteins are used up .
Your body cannot use starch because it is a complex carbohydrate. It must be broken down into shorter carbohydrate strings before being converted into energy
Starch is a carbohydrate, providing short and middle-term energy but few proteins.
ATP
carbohydrate
Energy rich molecules are mainly carbohydrates as well as lipids and proteins.
They are broken down into simpler molecules by the digestive system so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
They can. In cellular respiration proteins may be broken down and modified to enter as part of the citric acid (Krebs) cycle.

No, protein is broken down into amino acids. Simple sugars are only formed when carbohydrates are digested.
