Best Answer

The similarities are fairly easy - all three of these molecules are carbohydrates, that means that it is made up of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens. A more familiar description is that carbohydrates are long chains made up of sugar molecules. Another name for carbohydrate is polysaccharide (poly = many, saccharide = sugar). So, you might ask, why aren't starches sweet? Well, the chains are so long that the taste receptors on your tongue can not register them.
