provides the cells with most of their energy.
Glucose can be further broken down by respiration or fermentation by glycolysis.
They are involved in the metabolic energy cycles of photosynthesis and respira-
tion.
Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hyrdrogen, and oxygen.
Carbohydrates are broken down into sugars or glucose.
The simple sugars can be grouped into monosaccharides and disaccharides.
