Carbohydrates are typically converted into energy in the body within 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption, depending on the type of carbohydrate and individual metabolism.

Secretion
Carbohydrates (aka, "sugar") provide caloric energy for our bodies in the same way that gasoline provides "energy" for an automobile. Certain organs, such as the brain, literally require carbohydrates in order to function properly. (In the absence of adequate sugar, the brain will run on ketone bodies- products of incomplete fat metabolism.)
The metabolism of carbohydrates is exothermic, meaning it releases energy in the form of heat during the various biochemical processes involved in breaking down carbohydrates to produce ATP for cellular energy.
They begin the metabolism of carbohydrates
Because urea is a waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins in the liver, it cannot be derived from the metabolism of carbohydrates. The metabolism of carbohydrates ultimately results in the production of glucose or energy sources like ATP.
No. A half a cup of cranberries will provide you with about 6 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, but they will not increase your metabolism.
