Single sugar.
Category:
- Simple sugars.
- Complex sugars.
Importance:
- A basic and fast source of energy.
- Storage of energy in living organisms Plants store carbohydrates in the form of starch while stored by animal and human in the form of glycogen in liver cells and muscles.
Cell-building Cellulose enters the synthesis of plant cell walls as carbohydrates enter into the cellular membranes and cell protoplasm.
