To sustain life on Earth
Plants use carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis to make carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. During photosynthesis, carbon is converted into glucose, which serves as the building block for carbohydrates. Fats and proteins are produced by further modifying glucose and incorporating other elements like nitrogen and sulfur.
Nitrogen is the element present in all proteins except carbohydrates and fats. Amino acids make up all proteins, and they contain the amino group NH2, except for carbohydrates and fats.?æ

The three basic macro-nutrients are fat, carbohydrates, and protein. However, alcohol is also a macro-nutrient. These are all classified as macro-nutrients because they provide calories. 1g fat = 9 calories 1g alcohol = 7 calories 1g carbohydrate = 4 calories 1g protein = 4 calories
Fats have a lot of calories which make you a lot fatter. One gram of fat has nine calories, on the other hand a gram of protein has four calories, as does a gram of carbohydrates.
Plants generally make carbohydrates by photosynthesis
Yes, plants have carbon in their structure. Carbon is a key element in the molecules that make up plant cells, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
You can use carbohydrates, fats, or proteins.
Carbohydrates are composed of Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and nitrogen.... The Nutrients that make up Carbohydrates are: Sugars and Straches......
If not a cooked breakfast (eggs, or pancakes, or waffles), then at least cereal or pop tarts with milk. You need carbohydrates and protein to start the day, because using stored energy (fats, protein) can make you sluggish or inattentive.
Carbohydrates will give you energy with which to do your exercise, but the muscle itself is made from protein.
Quite simply, chloroplasts make carbohydrates and ribosomes make proteins.
