Accepted Answer

Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are the three main nutrients that provide energy for animals. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is then used for energy. Fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol, which are also used for energy. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, which can be used for energy or to build new proteins.
