Q

What are the 10 functions of carbohydrates refer to this A2-F2-P1-S2-T3

A
  1. Furnishes energy necessary to carry on the work of the body
  2. They are important structural components
  3. They may be transformed into other, totally different kinds of molecules, like amino acids,
    lipids and nucleic acids
  4. Provider of bulk roughage in the diet
  5. They attach to proteins and lipids to form glycoproteins and glycolipids
  6. For the storage and generation of energy – excess carbohydrates are manufactured into
    fatty tissue and serve as source of future fuel
  7. Aids in the better functioning of the liver since a well starched liver with glycogen
    functions more efficiently
  8. Serves as the body’s most useful emergency fuel and is the food most frequently
    introduced into the vein when all other venues for feeding are closed
  9. Sole energy source for the brain and nerve tissues – brain and nerve tissues utilize only
    glucose for energy. There must be a constant supply of glucose that reaches these
    tissues to prevent irreversible damage to the brain.
  10. A protein sparer – energy needs of the body is given first priority over body-building
    needs. The supply of carbohydrates must be sufficient so that protein will not be
    catabolized to provide heat and energy.
