Answer:

Carbohydrates are converted into glucose and are a source of energy for your body.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE:

Carbohydrates are a class of food and are the main source of energy for the body. They are the most abundant organic substances in nature. Carbohydrates are formed by green plants during the process of photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and water. They serve as essential structural components in humans and organisms and as enormous energy sources.

The body breaks down carbohydrates from various food components, converting them to a type of simple sugar known as glucose.

Glucose which is a simple sugar is broken by the during glycolysis which enters the Kreb's cycle for the generation of energy for the body.
