The most obvious biological importance of sugars is their use as a fuel source. Sugars are metabolized by living things to produce energy. In humans oxygen combines with sugar to produce carbon dioxide and water. Sugars are also important as intermediates in metabolic processes, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and amino acid synthesis. Sugars also help form the backbone of DNA and RNA.

Both.
Monosaccharides are sugars; sugars are used for food.
store the sugars as carbohydrates.
To divide and to build up large molecules!
store the sugars as carbohydrates.
Photosynthesis produces sugars, but these sugars must be broken down. Otherwise, the plant cannot use the energy stored in sugars.
To get energy. Sugars are particularly important fuel molecules. They are oxidized in the food we eat and must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them.
Something that is not a common use for added sugars in the diet is nutritional benefit. For example, breakfast cereals and fruit juices are quite often laden with added sugars.
only geeks use them
