Answer:

The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and the nervous system. When you eat carbohydrates, an enzyme called amylase breaks them down into a simple sugar called glucose. The pancreas releases a hormone called insulin, which attaches to glucose and brings it to your cells so they can use it for energy. Insulin brings excess glucose to your liver, where it is converted to glycogen and stored for use when your dietary intake of carbohydrates falls short. When you go for an extended period without eating carbohydrates, another pancreatic hormone called glucagon converts glycogen back to glucose so you can use it for energy.
