Location: Carbohydrates are found in foods like bread, rice, fruits and vegetables and in cells as part of membranes and stored forms (starch in plants, glycogen in animals).
Structure: Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms arranged as simple sugars (monosaccharides) that can link into disaccharides and long polysaccharide chains.
Function: Carbohydrates provide quick energy (glucose), serve as energy storage (starch/glycogen), give structural support (cellulose) and help with cell recognition when attached to proteins or lipids.
