have the general formula [CH2O]n (where n is the number of repeating units). The main function of carbohydrates is short-term energy storage (such as glucose). A secondary function is intermediate-term energy storage (as in starch for plants and glycogen for animals). In addition‚ some carbohydrates are involved as structural components in cells‚ such as cellulose in the cell walls of plants and chitin in the exoskeleton of arthropods. Sugars are structurally the simplest carbohydrates. They are

Sugarcane provides glucose to the body‚ which is stored as glycogen and burned by the muscles‚ whenever they require energy. Therefore‚ it is considered to be one of the best sources of energy. If you have been exposed to heat and physical activity for too long‚ drink sugarcane juice. It will help hydrate the body

food groups are: 1. Bread‚ cereals and potatoes: ( carbohydrate‚ calcium and iron‚ B vitamins and dietary fibre) - Carbohydrate is needed to provide energy. Starchy carbohydrates are broken down and converted to glucose which is either stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles or is circulated in the bloodstream where it can enter cells and be used as energy. - Dietary fibre is not absorbed but passes through the gastrointestinal tract‚ helping to keep it healthy before being excreted. - Calcium

Increased muscular activity results in a decreased partial pressure of oxygen‚ an increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide‚ a reduced PH‚ and an increased temperature. Consequently as much as 73% of the oxygen picked up by haemoglobin in the lungs is released in skeletal muscles during periods of physical exercise. Utilisation When we inhale air‚ oxygen is transported to the lungs and can be utilised by the body to stay alive. Oxygen is used to produce ATP for energy “the principle energy
