Question: What are simple sugars? Simple sugars, also called simple carbohydrates, are found in refined sugars like table sugar. Sweets like cookies, cakes and candy are high in simple sugars. These types of simple sugars do not provide vitamins, minerals or fiber and the calories that they provide are considered "empty calories". A high intake of these added sugars is associated with cavities and can contribute to high triglyceride levels and Heart disease. You can determine whether the food item you are eating has added sugars by reading the food label. Examples of added sugars include:
The three elements in simple sugar are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugar and are the smallest type of sugar.

Yes, a simple sugar is created during photosynthesis. This is how the plant creates and uses energy to live on.
monosaccharide
Starch is not a simple sugar. Rest are.
The most simple sugar, "glucose".
Compound. It is either C6H1206(simple sugar), or C12H22011(polysaccharide)
Sucrose.
We use a fermenting process to test for simple sugar like maltose.
