    The document discusses carbohydrates, which are sugar molecules that along with proteins and fats are the three main nutrients found in food. Carbohydrates provide energy and regulate blood glucose levels. They are broken down into simple sugars that enter the bloodstream, causing insulin release from the pancreas. Carbohydrates come in monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Deficiencies can cause low blood sugar, fatigue, weakness and other issues. Carbohydrates are found in foods like grains, bread, cereal, rice, fruits, and snacks.

    Definition
    carbohydrates also known as carbs
    are sugar molecule.It comes along
    with protein and fats,
    carbohydrates are the three main
    nutrients found in food and drinks.

    Function of carbohydrates
    1
    Providing energy and regulating blood glucose

    When we eat carbohydrates, the body Function of insulin -


    breaks them down into simple sugars,
    which are absorbed into the move sugar from the blood into
    bloodstream. As the sugar level rises the cells, where the sugar can
    into the body, the pancreas releases a be used as a source of energy.
    hormone called insulin.

    Dietary Fiber

    Dietary fibers such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin,


    gum and mucilage are important carbohydrates. Soluble
    dietary fibers like pectin, gum and mucilage pass
    undigested through the small intestine and are degraded
    into fatty acids and gases by the large intestine. The
    fatty acids produced in this way can either be used as a
    fuel for the large intestine or be absorbed into the
    bloodstream.

    carbohydrates will prevent protein
    from being used as an energy source.

    Furthermore, an adequate amount of
    carbohydrates will prevent the
    degradation of skeletal muscle and
    other tissues such as the heart, liver,
    and kidneys. Most importantly, ketosis
    will be prevented.
    Function Of Carbohydrates
    Biological Recognition Processes

    Carbohydrates not only serve nutritional


    functions, but also play an important role in
    cellular recognition process. For example,
    many immunoglobulins (antibodies) and peptide
    hormones contain glycoprotein sequences.
