Yes, the answer is carbohydrates. (: If you look up the definition of carbohydrate, here is what you get: any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and typically can be broken down to release energy in the animal body. Hence, they are a source of energy. *^.^*
