If you're in a science or Biology class, I would refrain from using the word "sugar". Sugar is too vague of a term to use when dealing with carbohydrates - same goes for lipids and "fat". However, by "sugar molecule", I think you're looking for the monomer of a carbohydrate molecule: monosaccharide. These monosaccharides can come together to form a disaccharide (two monomers) or polysaccharides (more than two monomers).

Carbohyrates are either simple or complex?
Yes. Complex carbohydrates are polymers, i.e. chains of simple sugars.
Long chains of sugars are?
what are 3 long chains of sugars
Two types of carbohydrates are?
The two types of carbohydrates are simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are referred to as fast-acting carbohydrates. Sugars are considered simple carbohydrates. Starches are considered complex carbohydrates.
What are long chains of sugars called and give 3 examples?
Long chains of sugars are complex carbohydrates. Three examples are sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
What are the two Subgroups for carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
One of the carbohydrates made up of long chains of simple sugars?
Polysaccharide
Are sugars and carbohydrates related?
Sugar is one of the class of foods called carbohydrates. There are simple and complex carbohydrates, sugar is a simple one.
What are the building blocks of simple sugars?
Simple sugars are themselves building blocks of either complex sugars or carbohydrates. Glycol aldehyde is an example of a pre biotic simple sugar.
How do you obtain starch?
Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
What are classifications of carbohydrates?
Simple carbohydrates come from granulated sugars and other sugars. Complex carbohydrates, those that are part of the food pyramid, come from vegetables and fruits, and some grains.
What are the Classification of carbohydrates?

Complex sugars are called what?
Complex sugars or starches are called polysaccharides.
