Two of the basic differences are their chemical structures and methods of production, explained quite well in the links below. One of the direct results of their different chemical structures is the way they are processed by our bodies as food. It can be generalized that sugars (at least the processed sugars) are a "quick and empty" source of energy, where starches are more long lasting. Also, I haven't heard any dentists complain about starches causing cavities, but again that has a lot to do with the chemical reactions.
What else can I help you with?
Are starches and sugars are examples of carbohydrates?
yes starches and sugars are and example of carbohydrates
What starches and sugars that provid energy?
All starches and sugars provide energy.
What do carbhydrates do?
Carbohydrates include starches and sugars. Starches are broken down into sugars. Sugars are used to provide energy.
Are organic compounds made of sugars or starches.?
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
What macromolecule includes sugars starches and cellulose?
Simple sugars are not macromolecules, but starches and cellulose are both polysaccharides and macromolecules.
What of these includes sugars starches and cellulose?
Simple sugars are not macromolecules, but starches and cellulose are both polysaccharides and macromolecules.
What is the difference between sugar and starch?
While both sugar and starch are carbohydrates, the main difference between them is their size, and subsequently their physical properties and uses. The term sugar is usually refers to simple sugars (monosaccharides like glucose and fructose) and disaccharides, like lactose, maltose and sucrose, which are all constructed of two monosaccharides linked together, while starches are always polysaccharides, made up of long chains of simple sugars and disaccharides. Sugars and starches also differ in that sugars tend to be water-soluble, while starches tend to be insoluble in water. Another difference is in usage. Organisms tend to use sugars to satisfy their immediate energy needs, and use starches as storage mechanisms because starches are basically multiple (sometimes hundreds) sugar molecules linked together.
Carbohydrates are defines as.?
Sugars, Starches.
What are the digestible carbohydrates?
Sugars and starches.
What organic compound is made up of sugars or starches?
Starches and sugars are organized as Polysaccharides.
What foods contain large amounts of sugars and starches?
Sugars or Potatoes
Sugars and starches?
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.
