The major function of carbohydrates is to provide energy.About half of the energy used by muscles and other body tissues is provided from glucose and glycogen, a storage form of carbohydrate.Grain foods, vegetables, fruits, and legumes provide lots of carbohydrates and fiber with little fat.Each gram of carbohydrate in food provides four calories of energy.Dietary carbohydrates provide glucose that body cells can use for energy.The Dietary Guidelines recommend 45% to 65%, or about half of daily calories, should come from carbohydrate foods.Few roles of carbohydrate are
1)Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Central Nervous System
2)Carbohydrates Provide Fuel for the Muscular System
3)Carbohydrates Supposedly Spare Proteins
4)Carbohydrates Supposedly Supply "Dietary Fiber"

Why do human beings need hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a major component of carbohydrates, which our bodies use as an energy source.
Why does the human body use carbohydrates?
Because it is the most "preferred" source of energy in your body: the amount of calories in 1 gram of carbohydrates (9) is more than the calories in fat and protein (4).
What energy does the human body use while running?
The human body primarily uses carbohydrates and fats as energy sources while running. For short bursts of intense activity, such as sprinting, the body relies more on carbohydrates for quick energy. As the duration of running increases, the body shifts to utilizing more fat for energy to sustain endurance.
What is the difference between the body's use of carbohydrates and its use of fat-?
The difference between the body's use of carbohydrates and its use of fat is that fats are broken into fatty acids, and stored as triglycerides for future use whereas carbohydrates are digested into glucose or a sugar for immediate use.
What macro-molecule would your body use for energy when no carbohydrates are available?
Adipose (or fat) will be used by the body if no carbohydrates are available.
What is another biological use for carbohydrates besides energy?
There is no other use. The sole purpose of carbohydrates is to provide energy for your body.
Does he human body use einsteinium?
The human body doesn't use einsteinium.
What does the human brain and other nerve tissues use as fuel?
Carbohydrates and oxygen.
What do you think the main role of carbohydrates is?
Carbohydrates are basically sugar and starch. They break down into glucose molecules in the body in digestion. When used as energy (glucose), carbohydrates become fuel for your muscles and brain. If your body does not have any use for the glucose, it is converted into glycogen and stored it in the liver and muscles as an energy reserve. Your body can store about a half a day's supply of glycogen. If your body has more glucose than it can use as energy, or convert to glycogen for storage, the excess is converted to fat. Summary: Carbohydrates are a source of energy for the human body
