Carbohydrates are used to provide a ready source of cellular fuel. Glucose is broken down and oxidized within cell. During this chemical reaction electrons are transferred. This relocation releases the bond energy stored in glucose and is used to synthesize ATP, carbs are then converted to GLYCOGEN or fat and stored. (They are stored in the fat as glycogen)

What is the stored form of carbohydrate in plants and animals respictively?
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
Complex carbohydrates are stored in animals in the form?
Glycogen
Where does the body store carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are absorbed and converted into glucose. The glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue. If these are full the glucose will be converted into fat and stored.
What is the carbohydrate that is made in the human body?
Distribution of carbohydrates in the human body is provision of energy to cells to facilitate all body processes. Carbohydrates are distributed in the form of glucose and when they are not used, they are stored as glycogen or fat.
Carbohydrates are stored as?
in the form of starch
What is stored form carbohydrates in plants?
starch
Excess carbohydrates are synthesized into?
Carbohydrates in any form, (simple or complex) are eventually turned into Glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar. If you do not utilize all of the Glucose stored in your body, it will become fat. This will be stored in your fat cells.
In what form are carbohydrates stored in animals?

Why is carbohydrate called protein sparer?
When your body needs energy, it will first use carbohydrates stored in your body, sparing the protein and fats in your body. When the stored carbohydrates are depleted, the body will start using protein and fats.
Which type of food can be stored as body fat?
Sugar and carbohydrates are stored as body fat. This is extra energy that the body doesn't need and so it is stored as fat.
What Complex carbohydrates made by the human body are stored in the?
Liver
Which nutrients are stored in the body for later use?
Carbohydrates, if not used by the body, are stored as fat. Not all carbohydrates are converted to fat. Upon consumption the carbohydrates may be converted to glycogen for fast use by the body.
What are carbohydrates stored in plants in form of?
Largely cellulose and starch.
Where and in what form does the body store carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are broken down to glucose molecules which can only be stored in very small amounts. Excess glucose which are not readily used are converted into glycogen and stored in fatty tissues of the body.
