PPT-CARBOHYDRATES Introduction

Carbohydrates are the most abundant macromolecules in nature They are the main source and storage of energy in the body They serve also as structural component of cell membrane The general molecular formula of carbohydrate is CnH2nOn or CH2On where n gt 3 . Complex and Simple. What’s the difference. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide much of the fuel that keeps the body going.. Carbohydrates are the body’s most preferred source of energy. They make up the largest volume of our daily food. (60% of our food should be from Carbohydrates). By: Ricky, Dallas, Rachel. Vocabulary . Carbohydrates-one of the six classes of nutrients that includes sugars, starches, and fibers. Carbs are the body's main source of energy.. Monosaccharide- is a carbohydrate made up of single sugar units-glucose, fructose, and galactose. Project by. : K.A.M.I.K.. Function. Carbohydrates are also knows as saccharides, which comes from the Greek word . sákkharon. meaning “sugar”. Carbohydrates serve a number of different purposes in living organisms, but their main function is to store energy. Carbohydrates also serve as structural components, such as cellulose in plants.

Six Essential Nutrients. In order to survive, the human body needs the nutrients found in food. These nutrients, which perform a number of life-sustaining functions in the body, are divided into 6 main categories: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Each has a unique function in the normal growth and repair of the body.. Starches: Complex Carbohydrates. Dietary . Fiber. Copyright. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2012. .

They are called carbohydrates because, at the chemical level, they contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.. Unlike essential amino acids and fatty acids, there are no essential carbohydrates. This means we can obtain everything we need nutritionally from other food sources, so carbs are not necessary to maintain life..
