The body uses carbohydrates in the form of glucose, with the exception of energy storage where the body can use fructose and galactose as well.

What are the five nutrient?
The five nutrients are: 1. Carbohydrates : - the body's quickest source of energy. there are two types of carbohydrates; simple and complex - simple carbohydrates: sugar molecule - complex carbohydrates: a chain of simple carbohydrates joined together --> our body needs to break down into simple carbohydrates before we can use the energy 2. Proteins : - build parts of your body's muscles, skin, hair, and nails - the body manufactures proteins for use in various chemical reactions inside your cells 3. Fats : - Used to build cell membrane and can be stored by the body for futer energy usage - Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature while saturated fats are solid at room temperature 4. Vitamins : - Help our body to perform various body functions 5. Minerals : - Help our body to perform various body functions
