Okay so, What is Carbohydrates Used for?
I know what It is but do You?
they are basicallly by used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans- from the article
Macromolecules In Our Food Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are the common elements in living things. All compounds can be classified in two broad categories --- organic and inorganic compounds. Organic compounds are made primarily of carbon. Carbon has four outer electrons and can form four bonds. Carbon can form single bonds with another atom and also bond to other carbon molecules forming double, triple, or, on occasion, quadruple bonds. Organic compounds also contain hydrogen. Since hydrogen has only one electron, it can form only single bonds. Each small organic molecule can be a unit of a large organic molecule called a macromolecule. We are going to review three classes of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins). Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON). Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. They are made of smaller monomers called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in them. These simple sugars combine to make disaccharides (double sugars like sucrose) and polysaccharides (long chains like cellulose, chitin, and glycogen). Proteins are made of subunits called amino acids and are used to build cells and do much of the work inside organisms. Proteins are what make up your muscles and are made up of small amino acids. Enzymes are one specific type of protein that catalyze chemical reactions. Lipids are large molecules. Phospholipids make up cell membranes. Lipids also serve as waxy coverings (cuticle) on plants, pigments (chlorophyll), and steroids. Lipids have more carbon and hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Fats are made of a glycerol (alcohol) and three fatty acid chains. This subunit is called a triglyceride. The fatty acid chains may be saturated (only single bonds between carbons) or unsaturated (contain at least one double bond). Lipids also provide energy to the cell.
there bro
hm

So under the box What is it used for you would put what Carbohydrate is used for.
ye i skipped that one,ima do it when i get home
Okay, are you done with this Question? Or do you still need help :) ?
i need help with the one i posted thats open
This one?
