Timothy Sullivan · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

All the animals use carbohydrates as their primary source of energy. Glucose is the molecule which is oxidized by all animals in their cell and energy released by this oxidation is used by animals to perform necessary metabolic activities important for cell survival. ATP is produced by glucose oxidation which is a cellular form of energy.

Many organs like liver, muscle have carbohydrates which are eaten by carnivores which means these animals are able to use carbohydrate to fuel their life process. Therefore the given statement is false.
