simple sugars
They are the carbohydrates. Also called as polysaccharides
They are in polysaccharides. Also called carbohydrates generally.
Simple sugars are called monomers which is mono saccharides.The mono saccharides for carbohydrates are glucose , fructose and glactose. Carbohydrates can also be Di saccharides which is sucrose , lactose.
The three classes of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharaides are simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. Disaccharides are sugars such as sucrose and maltose and polysaccharides are sugars such as starch and cellulose.
The term "complex carbohydrates" refers to polysaccharides. This is as opposed to simple carbohydrates, or sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides). Some nutritionists, however, use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found.
monosaccharide
Carbohydrates Monosaccharides and disaccharides are what kind of molecules? Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of 2 monosaccharides.
carbohydrates. this term refers to simple and complex sugars such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. this term also refers to starches.
Complex carbohydrates are also known as polysaccharides. The most complex carbohydrate appears to be oats. Wholegrain foods and starchy vegetables are also good sources of complex carbohydrates.
Yes, a carbohydrate is a molecule made up of sugar molecules bonded together.There are monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates which are sugar molecules--fructose, glucose are part of this group. They are also called "simple sugars"There are disaccharides, sugars made up of two linked monosaccharides. Lactose, maltose and sucrose are part of this group.There are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, longer "chains" and "branches" made up of several monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates with between two and nine "simple sugar" molecules attached together.Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides.Cellulose and chitin are also polysaccharides, although technically not nutrients as the body does not digest them.
Carbohydrates are primary used by the body in the form of glucose.Fructose and galactose is also absorbed by the body. But these carbohydrates are not directly utilized as energy by the body, instead they are transported to the liver to be converted into fat or to glucose via the liver's glycogen storage.An answer to your question is therefore hard to give. The body uses carbohydrates in the form of glucose, with the exception of energy storage where the body can use fructose and galactose as well.
