Carbohydrate Simple Definition
Imagine trying to organize a cluttered closet filled with all sorts of clothes, shoes, and accessories. Just like how you need to sort and arrange these items to create a functional and accessible space, carbohydrates serve as a well-organized storage unit for energy in our bodies. In this analogy, the closet represents your body, the clothes are the molecules of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and the organized system of shelves and hangers is akin to the structured form of sugars and starches that efficiently store energy for future use.
