Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit all your groceries into a single, small shopping bag. Carbohydrates are like that shopping bag, efficiently storing and packing energy in the form of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen for our bodies to use. Just as a tightly packed bag allows you to carry more items conveniently, carbohydrates pack energy in a compact form, making it easy for our bodies to transport and utilize energy whenever needed.
