natural gas & oil. Duke Energy operates a system of generating plants fueled by oil or natural gas, including combustion turbines, combined-cycle units and oil-fired units. Combustion turbines. Many of our combustion turbine units are used to supplement power supply during peak demand periods when electricity use is highest.
Carbohydrates are a type of macronutrient found in many foods and beverages. Most carbohydrates are naturally occurring in plant-based foods, such as grains. Food manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar.Common sources of naturally occurring carbohydrates include: 1  Fruits. 2  Vegetables.3  Milk. 4  Nuts. 5  Grains. 6  Seeds. 7  Legumes.ood manufacturers also add carbohydrates to processed foods in the form of starch or added sugar.

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.Other carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose). Carbohydrates are: 1  a source of energy for the body e.g. glucose and a store of energy, e.g. starch in plants.2  building blocks for polysaccharides (giant carbohydrates), e.g. cellulose in plants and glycogen in the human body.ther carbohydrate molecules are very large (polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose).
