All unrefined plant foods provide abundant carbohydrate, fiber, and little fat. Polysaccharides: more than 10 (starch and fiber) All have the same number and same atoms c6h12o6. Differ in their arrangements of the atoms which accounts for the difference of sweetness. Essential energy source for every bodily activity especially the brain and nervous system. One of two sugars in every disaccharide. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose. Blood glucose homeostasis is regulated by insulin and glucagon.
