What are the major functions of Carbohydrates?

• Main source of quick energy; can be used for structural purposes

• Used to store energy. Some are important parts of biological membranes and waterproof coverings

• Store & transmit hereditary (genetic) information

• Some control the rate of reactions & regulate cell processes. Others form important cell structures, while still others transport substances into or out of cells or help fight disease.
