Question
the three main functions of carbohydrates are.... (mark 3!) to be a quick source of energy long term energy storage provide cellular support as cell walls short term energy storage form cell membranes
Carbohydrates are broken down quickly to release energy, so they are a quick energy source. Cellulose (a carbohydrate) provides structural support in plant cell walls. Carbohydrates like glycogen (in animals) and starch (in plants) serve as short - term energy storage. Lipids (not carbohydrates) are for long - term energy storage, and phospholipids (lipids) form cell membranes.
