Carbohydrates are sugars. They’re made by plants through photosynthesis. Plants breath in carbon dioxide and take water from the soil through their roots. They turn these into sugar and breathe out oxygen.
Animals can turn excess sugar into a carbohydrate called glycogen. If they have too much glycogen stored, the sugar gets turned into fat (lipid) instead.
