Carbohydrates...Yum!

As someone who rows races quite often I understand the importance of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are on of the macromolecules. Carbohydrates are used for fast energy, energy storage, raw materials, and structural materials. Carbohydrates are made up of Carbon and Hydrogen. Carbohydrates are made up of monomers which are sugars. The most common being Glucose. The energy is stored in carbon to carbon bonds. Polysaccharides cost little energy to make and are easily reversible. One carbohydrate commonly seen in animals is Glycogen. Cellulose is a common carbohydrate seen in plants. It is the most abundant organic compound on Earth but humans cannot digest it. Many herbivores have developed a mechanism to digest it though.
