-Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and they are required by the human body as an energy source, while are organic compounds made up of interlinked chains of amino acids, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Apart from the structure and element composition, carbohydrates and proteins differ in a number of ways, these includes; carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel that enables it to function, proteins are the building blocks of the body.

Carbohydrates are needed by the body to make it run and function, while we need proteins to keep our muscles and glands healthy. Additionally, proteins have the ability to catalyze biochemical reactions a major feature that differentiates it from carbohydrates and other macromolecules.
