Mainly sugars and starches, together constituting one of the three principal types of nutrients used as energy sources (calories) by the body. Carbohydrates can also be defined chemically as neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates come in simple forms such as sugars and in complex forms such as starches and fiber. The body b [..]

class of biochemical compounds which includes sugars, starch, chitin, and steroids.

compounds of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon formed into the sugars, starches, and cellulose formed by plant photosynthesis of water and carbon dioxide. They provide energy and facilitate fat production. Three primary types: monosaccharides (simple sugars like fructose and glucose), disaccharides (lactose, maltose, and sucrose), and polysaccharides (c [..]

  The major energy source within plants and animals: sugars, starches and glucose polymers.

compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including sugars and starches.

Organic compound containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a characteristic ratio, e.g. starch, sucrose (table sugar), and glucose. They are a basic source of energy, circulating as glucose in the blood stream, and being stored as glycogen in virtually all body tissues, but mainly in the liver and muscles. Bread, potatoes, fruits, honey and re [..]

Biochemical name for sugar containing molecules including single sugar (monosaccharides) like glucose and galactose, but also polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) like starch (poly-glucose), cellulose (plant fiber material, also poly-glucose with a different chemical bond structure linking glucose units than those found in starch/glycogen and en [..]

A family of nutritional substances that includes sugars, starches and fibres.

compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; type of nutrient that is the major source of energy for the body

30px;">Carbohydrates are the human body's main source of energy.  Our bodies break down carbohydrates during metabolism to release energy.  During physical activity, carbohydrates are used to provide energy and should be replenished to have optimal performance. 

Organic compounds that contain multiple hydroxyl groups in their molecular structure. A basic component of living matter.

Carbohydrates are foods which give you energy. They are called carbohydrates because they are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The two main forms of carbohydrates are sugars and starches, which are found in foods such as grains, rice, breads, cereals and starchy vegetables. The body breaks down carbohydrates to provide your body with heat and e [..]

compounds such as sugars and starches that occur in food and are broken down to release energy in the body.

Starches that are quickly digested and therefore less effective in slowing the movement of alcohol from the stomach to the small intestine.

Carbohydrates are organic compounds that contain carbon in combination with the same proportion of hydrogen and oxygen (water). All starches and sugars are carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are a group of organic compounds that contain carbon in combination with the same proportion of hydrogen and oxygen (as in water).  All starches and sugars are carbohydrates.  The body r [..]

Components of food that give us energy. They are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sugars and starches are examples. Characterized by the structure of C, H and O atoms with the general formulas Cx (H2O)y.

  A large group of energy producing compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, e.g. starch, glucose and other sugars.

A group of energy-storage molecules that includes sugars and starches. Carbohydrates contain four calories per gram.

Organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and having approximately the formula CH2On. Carbohydrates include starches, cellulosics, and sugars.

Carbohydrates provide the body with its major source of fuel. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars (i.e. glucose) to complex carbohydrates referred to as starches.

The largest class of organic compounds, including Starch; GLYCOGEN; Cellulose; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple Monosaccharides. Carbohydrates are composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen in a ratio of Cn( [..]

Carbohydrates present in Food comprising digestible sugars and starches and indigestible Cellulose and other Dietary Fibers. The former are the major source of energy. The sugars are in beet and Cane [..]

 - one of the three macronutrients that provide energy in an animal’s diet. They are split into two categories according to their function:

Carbohydrates are an important source of energy for both humans and pets. Carbohydrates can perform many roles in the body, such as storing energy. Carbohydrates come in simple and complex forms, the complex being the healthier of the two. Complex carbohydrates take longer to break down into glucose, making them a better source of long term energy.

the food group containing sugars, starches, and cellulose.

the food group containing sugars, starches, and cellulose.

Carbohydrates are the main source of blood glucose and they supply the body with the energy it needs.

Carbohydrates are biochemical compounds composed only of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and are the main source of energy for animals. Animals get the majority of their required energy from the carbohydrates in feeds. Carbohydrates are polymers made of basic sugar units, such as glucose (the most abundant), fructose, galactose, etc. The [..]

compounds composed of only carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.  Carbohydrates consist of starches and sugars, such as glucose. Glucose is  necessary for production of energy, especially in the brain.
