When one comsumes carbohydrates, a source of energy, the carbohydrates break down into smaller sugars; glucose, fructose, and galactose, which get absorbed and used as energy. Any glucose not needed right away gets stored in the muscles and the live in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is the source of energy most often used for excersise.
The hotdog bun with spaghetti is an example of carbohydrates because bread and pasta are full of carbs which break down into smaller sugars.
