Carbs are ingested through through several forms; simple carbs (the break down easily in your stomach, they provide a quick release of energy and have a short life span) come in the form of sugars (fructose in fruit for instance is a simple carb). Complex carbs take longer to break down in you stomach, but have a longer lasting effect on raising your energy levels (Potatoe's, Rice) these will raise your energy (not a high as Simple Carbs) but will provide a level of energy longer...simple would be a boost for 1/2 - 1 hour, complex would be a boost for 1-4 hours...

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.
