What are simple sugar?
They are sugars that the body can use directly, unlike complex sugars which the body has to first break down. Glucose is an example.
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Is glucose a complex sugar?
No. It is a polysaccharide also known as animal starch.
Is cellulose an important sugar that results from photosynthesis?
Cellulose is a sugar Glucose is formed as a result of photosynthesis
What is a complex carbohydrate and disaccharide of two simple sugars?
All polysaccharides must contain glycosidic linkages because they are what bind monosaccharides to eachother. The easiest example I can think of is maltose. Two glucose molecules are binded together by glycosidic linkages that form the maltose molecule.
What sugars are?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.

What can't plants photosynthesize?
Photosynthesis produces sugar. That is all. Sugar can be used to make complex carbohydrates such as starch or cellulose, but photosynthesis only makes sugar. It does not make anything else. Protein, for example, is not made by photosynthesis.
Is glucose a complex or simple sugar?
Glucose is simple sugar.
What are complex sugars or starches called?
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
Is sugar in fruit a simple or complex carbohydrate?
No, fruit sugar is not a complex carbohydrate. Fructose, or fruit sugar, is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion.
Is complex carbohydrate sugar?
Yes
What is complex sugar?
Complex sugars are also known as complex carbohydrates and there are three or more units of sugar in them. Complex sugars include assimilable polysaccharides, including pasta and potatoes, and non-assimilable polysaccharides that include green vegetables.
Is sugars a simple or complex carbohydrate?
Sugar by itself is a simple carbohydrate , but when it is in foods like potatoes that are carbs but turn into sugar in your body it is a complex carb.
What form of sugar do plants store their food as?
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
Is glucose a complex sugar?
No. It is a polysaccharide also known as animal starch.
What type of reactions use energy to build complex molecules?
An anabolic pathway is a pathway that utilizes energy to build complex molecules. Example of an anabolic pathway is the synthesis of sugar from Carbon dioxide.
