Starch.

A long chain of simple sugar units is called starch, which is converted from glucose (simple sugar). Starch is stored in the leaf temporarily during photosynthesis. During the Dark Phase, starch is converted back into glucose and it transported to the storage areas of the plant.

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.
