Cellulose.
The term "complex carbohydrates" refers to polysaccharides. This is as opposed to simple carbohydrates, or sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides). Some nutritionists, however, use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found.
it is something very simple called "starch"
The cell wall is made up of complex carbohydrates (cellulose).
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.
Complex carbohydrates found in plants include starches, cellulose, and hemicellulose. These carbohydrates serve as a source of energy for the plant and can also provide health benefits for humans when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple carbohydrates -- also known as sugar.
Steroids are not carbohydrates.
Yes. Starch, also known as complex carbohydrates, are only found in plants.
The polymerization process that forms complex carbohydrates is called condensation polymerization. In this process, monosaccharide units (such as glucose or fructose) join together to form longer chains through the elimination of water molecules. This process results in the formation of complex carbohydrates like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
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.
Ruminants have green plants as their food. These plants contain a type of complex carbohydrate, called cellulose. In the cecum, a kind of symbiotic bacteria helps digest cellulose. In ruminants, a major part of all carbohydrates, including the complex carbohydrates such as cellulose and hemi-cellulose, is digested by bacterial action.
