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
What do carbohydrates fats and oils have in common?

What are four types of basic organic macromolecules and how are they important in the body?
