One of these sugar molecules is glucose, the main energy source for your body.
Many proteins will not work properly unless they are coated with the right mixture of sugar molecules.
Sugar molecules released from the broken-down shell are then absorbed and used as energy by the bacteria.

This need for adjunct sugar molecules is one reason why making protein-based drugs is not as simple as it looks.
It's like combustion in reverse, and in essence it is what powers plants: CO2 and water in, energy-rich sugar molecules out.
Starch is a type of carbohydrate, also referred to as a complex carbohydrate since it is made up of long chains of sugar molecules.
