1.	First carbohydrates was formed in
Answer» In the mid-1800s, German chemist Justus von Liebig was one of the first to recognize that the body derived energy from the oxidation of foods recently eaten, and also declared that it was carbohydrates and fats that served to fuel the oxidation-not carbon and hydrogen as\xa0Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier\xa0had thought.\xa0The\xa0carbohydrates\xa0we use as foods have their\xa0origin\xa0in the photosynthesis of plants. They take the form of sugars, starches, and cellulose. The name\xa0carbohydrate\xa0means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules.
