cellulose |
|
|
non-digestible; thickening quality; fruits |
pectin |
|
|
animal starch; from glucose; stored in muscles and liver |
glycogen |
|
|
intermediate product of starch breakdown |

|
|
what are sources of carbohydrates |
flour, cereal, fruits, vegetables, dairy products |
|
|
what are the functions of carbohydrates |
