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.
Sugars and starches are essential nutrients in the body. In most cases, they are considered to be the main source of energy for various processes in the body.
simple sugars
Sugar is one of the class of foods called carbohydrates. There are simple and complex carbohydrates, sugar is a simple one.
Carbohydrates can be sugars or complex carbohydrates like starches. Simple carbohydrates, such as glucose and fructose, are sugars that provide quick energy, while complex carbohydrates, like bread and pasta, take longer to digest and provide sustained energy.
Carbohydrates can be defined as any of a group of multiple simple sugars. In more scientific terms, it could be said that carbohydrates are polymers of simple sugars, which are monomers. Another name for "carbohydrate" is a polysaccharide, making sugars a monosaccharide. Disaccharides are groups of two simple sugars. Common carbohydrates are cellulose, starch, glucose, etc.
Simple sugars are made up of monosaccharides, which are the building blocks. Monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, and galactose are single sugar molecules that cannot be broken down into smaller carbohydrates. These monosaccharides can join together to form more complex sugars like disaccharides and polysaccharides.

monosaccharide
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.
