Starches are actually "complex carbohydrates", (foods that contain 3 or more linked sugars). Simle carbs are also called simple sugars, and are exactly that: like sugar on cereal, or candy. Simple sugars are digested very quickly---remember how cotton candy dissappears?...Other examples of simple carbs are fruits, and milk, which take a bit longer to digest, and therefore have more nutritional value...These kinds of Carbs, as well as complex carbs break down into sugar, which the body uses as fuel.
Examples of complex carbs (starches) are pasta, bread, oatmeal, rice, vegetables like broccoli, and beans, like chickpeas and kidney beans. Complex carbs take the longest to digest, and are therefore the best type of carb nutritionally.

Does a carbohydrate have to be both starch and sugar or can it be just starch or sugar?
Carbohydrates are made up of a large group of organic compounds which include both starch and sugar. Sugar is the simplest form, and they supply energy to living cells for respiration. Sugar can be stored as starch (which is insoluble). Starch can be broken down into sugar when it is needed for respiration. Both sugar and starch are carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are usually classified into 4 categories:monosaccharides (aka simple sugars) like glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and xylosedisaccharides like sucrose, lactose, and maltosedigestible polysaccharides like amylose (aka starch), and glycogenindigestible polysaccharides (aka fiber) like cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycanAll are composed only of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
