A carbohydrate is a molecule composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). There are many types of carbohydrates referred to as sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar) and glucose (bodies' primary energy source). Starch is an example of a polysaccharide, a chain of many monosaccharides, or simple sugars.
