The three carbohydrates -- sugar, starch and fiber -- are all made from molecules of sugar. However, sugar also refers to a type of carbohydrate. Sugars, or simple carbohydrates, contain just one or two molecules of sugar.

Among the compounds that belong to this family are cellulose, starch, glycogen, and most sugars. There are three classes of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharides are white, crystalline solids that contain a single aldehyde or ketone functional group.
