they are made into a sugar before they are burned off and used. if they are unused they become fat.
carbs are converted to glucose .. the sugar the body burns as fuel.
Carbohydrates can be converted into fat in the body, but this process is not very efficient. The body typically uses carbohydrates for energy first before converting them into fat. Consuming excess calories from any source, including carbohydrates, can lead to weight gain and fat storage.
In food, it is carbohydrates. Examples are first of all sugar species; natural as in fruits and refined as in cookies, soft drinks etcetera. Also, carbohydrates are found in vegetables and whole grains-products.
Carbohydrates are the nutrient that is the easiest to be broken down and absorbed for energy use in the body. Carbohydrates are quickly converted into glucose, which is then used by the body for energy.
The small bowel absorbs nutrients from food but first it must be broken down into amino acids ie: proteins, carbohydrates, fibre etc... before being transported round the body.
The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth.
Carbohydrates such as glucose for example are catabolized(break down) by certain metabolic pathways. Glycolysis pathway is the first step where glucose is converted to pyruvate. Subsequently, pyruvate undergo Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain to synthesis energy or ATP molecules. Disaccharide (sucrose as example) or Polysaccharides such as Glycogen are first converted to its monomeric forms such as glucose, fructose, galactose etc. before entering the above said pathways.
When you exercise, your body uses stored carbohydrates (glycogen) first for quick energy before tapping into stored fats for fuel.
The Netherlands (Nederland) converted as one of the first 12 countries to the Euro on January first, 2002. Before this, the local currency was the Gulden.

Abnormal Data is data that cannot be stored like Normal Data but has to be converted into codes from signal first before they can be stored and viewed.
