Contractions, regulating fat, and metabolizing protein, generating heat, and
maintaining the cells.
2 TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATES

like Glucose (cell’s energy source), Fructose (found in fruits and honey), Galactose
(milk sugar from mammary glands). Disaccharides are combination of two
monosaccharide and either one of the Sucrose, Lactose, and Maltose.
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES (Polysaccharides) Are combination of three or
