Question 6

In human physiology and nutrition (part of Natural Science, specifically Biology or Medicine and Health subfields), carbohydrates are indeed the body's preferred source of energy because they can be broken down into glucose, which cells use for energy efficiently.

Grains (like wheat, rice) and potatoes are rich in starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate made of many glucose units. Sugars are simple carbs (e.g., table sugar), fiber is indigestible carb, and glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide), not the main carb in grains/potatoes in their natural form.

Carbohydrates, when digested, turn into glucose which provides quick energy for cells. Building muscle is protein’s role, storing fat is for fat (lipids) in excess, and regulating hormones is done by various molecules like hormones themselves or some proteins, not carbs.

Answer:

True
