Carbohydrates are compounds composed of just the 3 elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; in most cases following the formula Cx(H2O)y giving them their name.
Simple carbohydrates are all simple sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, galactose, xylose, ribose, deoxyribose). Complex carbohydrates are polymers of simple carbohydrates and fall into 3 categories: complex sugars (e.g. sucrose, lactose, maltose), starches (e.g. corn starch, potato starch), and fiber (e.g. cellulose, pectin, dextrin, lignin).
