Yes, they consist of one or more simple sugars
Sugar containing one sugar unit is called carbohydrate.
Starch is a more complex carbohydrate than reducing sugar. Reducing sugars are simple carbohydrates that can reduce other compounds, while starch is a complex carbohydrate made of many sugar units linked together in a more elaborate structure.
monosaccharide
One pound, as sugar is pure carbohydrate.
No, fruit sugar is not a complex carbohydrate. Fructose, or fruit sugar, is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion.
Compared to a monosaccharide carbohydrate, it is more complex (compare the ''di'' meaning two to the ''mono'' meaning one) as it is composed of, to put it simply, two sugar molecules whereas compared to the polysaccharide (''poly'' meaning many) carbohydrate made up of more than two sugar molecules, it is simple. I guess its all relative. :) Hope that helps you!
glucose is the common form of simple sugar
Carbohydrates store fiber.
Honey is super high in carbohydrates because it is a simple sugar. Honey has 17 grams of carbohydrates in one tablespoon.
Carbohydrate or polysaccharide.
Table sugar is a carbohydrate. It is made up of sucrose molecules. Carbohydrates do not break down table sugar, which is itself a carbohydrate. Table sugar is sucrose, a type of carbohydrate called a disaccharide, and is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose chemically combined to one another. Enzymes break down carbohydrates. In the case of sucrose, the enzyme sucrase, in conjunction with the enzyme α-dextrinase, breaks sucrose down into the individual molecules of glucose and fructose, which can then be used by cells in cellular respiration.
If I consume one more carbohydrate today, I will have blown my diet.
