Question
a person who eats a large amount of carbohydrates will:
store them as genetic material
convert them into energy for cells
turn them directly into proteins
excrete them unchanged
Carbohydrates are broken down during digestion. The primary role of carbohydrates is to provide energy. Glucose (a simple carbohydrate) is oxidized in cells through cellular respiration to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. Genetic material is mainly nucleic - acids (DNA and RNA). Carbohydrates are not directly turned into proteins (proteins are made from amino - acids). And carbohydrates are not excreted unchanged as they are digested and metabolized.
