Best Answer

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.
