Organisms use carbohydrates to build large molecules. Some carbohydrates act as energy stores, and others give structural support. Carbohydrates are also broken down to generate metabolic energy. Match the three specific examples of carbohydrate use to a general function. 1. A liver cell synthesizes glycogen from glucose. 2. A plant cell synthesizes cellulose from glucose. 3. A heart cell uses the energy in glucose to synthesize ATP.
