It depends on the type of carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates (or sugars), such as glucose and fructose, are absorbed into the bloodstream and provide an immediate energy boost, and are the most quickly turned into energy. Other carbohydrates, such as starch, take more time to digest and are probably similar energy wise as protein or fats. However, as far as containing the most energy in a given amount, fats beat all carbohydrates and proteins by far.

∙ 11y agoA sugary food like a candy bar that has more than one type sugar in its ingredient list....The first ingredient holds the highest content in the item, and the last is the least, so, if you see this in the ingredient-list: "sugar, corn syrup, invert sugar, fructose, dextrose, sucrose" then you will get an intense dose of sugar, and, hence, the biggest possible form of energy this side of caffeine.

What is the Fat molecule stored in the body for fuel and energy?
If you mean why: because it is a much more efficient way to store energy than, say, a carbohydrate. You would need twice the amount of carbohydrate molecules to give the same amount of energy.
Which one of the three types of carbohydrates would have more energy stored in its structure?
The Polysaccharides
In which structure, ATP or ADP, is more energy stored?
ATP because it is stored in the third phosphate and ADP only has two phosphates.
What kind of carbohydrate do plants use to store energy?
Carbohydrates are stored as complex sugars. The larger molecules are called starch and bigger than that is cellulose.
What are the lipid function?
they contain more energy than a carbohydrate
If you consume more carbohydrate than are needed the unesed portion gets stored as?
adipose tissue
What is the haworth structure for galactose?
The haworth structure is the ring structure for galactose. Haworth structures are more accurate representations of how the carbohydrate exists in nature. Fischer structures are those drawn linearly of the same carbohydrate. Hope this helps a little.
Is kinetic energy often called 'stored energy'?
"Stored energy" sounds more like potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy related to movement.
What is the nutritional value of starch?
Glycogen is a form of carbohydrate which is stored in the liver for short term energy needs, after which the body will begin breaking down fats (lipids) for energy. The answer is Complex Carbs
What are the advantages of the liver storing glycogen as a form of energy instead of glucose?
glycogen is a more complex carbohydrate than glucose. macromolecules are stored as complex molecules for example lipids are stored as complex fat.
What form of energy that stored in batteries and food and many more?
Chemical Energy
Stored energy is known as?
I don't believe there is a special word for stored energy, I would just call it that, "stored energy". Energy of position is called potential energy. For example, if you lift a weight against the force of gravitation, the energy you transfer to the object is stored as gravitational potential energy. At a higher position, it has more of this energy than when it is at a low position.
