Are starches and sugars examples of carbohydrates?
Yes,they are.But you can think of them as carbohydrates at different levels......sugars are simpler than cellulose which is found in plants.Also satarch is the bit more complex carbohydrate(not as much as cellulose)which is stored in plants for their use whenever they need it...
Generally are single-celled organisms?
acellular rather than unicellular.
What organ do marine organisms have as an adaptation rather than lungs?
Gills.
What organs do freshwater organisms have as an adaptation rather than lungs?
Gills
Can some autotrophs obtain their energy from chemicals rather than sunlight to produce carbohydrates?
Yes, hydrogen sulfide
How does the structure of starch different from that of a simple sugar?
Starch is a polysaccharide, consisting of a long chain of simple sugars, which are also referred to as monosaccharides or disaccharides. Monosacharides are made up of a carbon ring, with all but one of the carbons in the ring being bonded to a hydroxyl (OH); the last carbon is doubled bonded to an oxygen. Disaccharides are simple sugars consisting of two adjoined monosaccharides. As the prefix of the names suggest, a polysaccharide is made up of many (thousands) of monosacharides and/or disaccharides. Rather than maintaining the monosacharide's ring-like structure, polysaccharides--such as starch--form a chain of carbon rings. In actuality, there will be chains branching off of the theoretical chain. Starch will usually arrange its chains in a semi-crystalline structure.

Why is ATP generated in photosynthesis rather than using light energy to directly synthesise carbohydrates?
your mum likes ATP
Why does sugar have so many carbohydrates?
This can easily be answered once you break it all down to a molecular level. Here are the basics... Sugar (as we know it, like table sugar) is a disaccharide known as sucrose. This is made up of two monomers, glucose and fructose. Various other mixings of similar monomers produce other types of sugars and sweetners. Carbohydrates are very complex, and are polysaccharides. This means that they contain long polymers, which eack contain hundreds or thousands of monomers, like glucose. Sugars and carbohydrates to the same thing for the body, and - when broken up moleculary - are actually near identical. They both provide energy. Really, it is not that sugars have carbohydrates, but rather that carbohydrates have sugars.
Some organisms use single-stranded rather than double-stranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
DNA helicase
Do spiny skinned animals have organs?
all living organisms have organs rather they are visable or not organs ar neccesarry to from a system and that no more then what all livin organisms are a biotic system
