• □ acting as energy stores in cells

□ acting as building blocks for macromolecules
□ acting as catalysts to reactions
□ providing energy to cells by breakdown
need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be stored as energy in cells (e.g., glycogen in animals). They can serve as building - blocks for macromolecules like glycoproteins and glycolipids. They provide energy to cells upon breakdown through processes like glycolysis. Enzymes, not carbohydrates, act as catalysts.

Answer:

• acting as energy stores in cells
• acting as building blocks for macromolecules
• providing energy to cells by breakdown
