If you're in a science or Biology class, I would refrain from using the word "sugar". Sugar is too vague of a term to use when dealing with carbohydrates - same goes for lipids and "fat". However, by "sugar molecule", I think you're looking for the monomer of a carbohydrate molecule: monosaccharide. These monosaccharides can come together to form a disaccharide (two monomers) or polysaccharides (more than two monomers).
What else can I help you with?
Carbohyrates are either simple or complex?
Yes. Complex carbohydrates are polymers, i.e. chains of simple sugars.
Two types of carbohydrates are?
The two types of carbohydrates are simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are referred to as fast-acting carbohydrates. Sugars are considered simple carbohydrates. Starches are considered complex carbohydrates.
What are long chains of sugars called and give 3 examples?
Long chains of sugars are complex carbohydrates. Three examples are sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
One of the carbohydrates made up of long chains of simple sugars?
Polysaccharide
What are the two Subgroups for carbohydrates?
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
What are the monomers for large carbohydrates?

Are sugars and carbohydrates related?
Sugar is one of the class of foods called carbohydrates. There are simple and complex carbohydrates, sugar is a simple one.
Are carbohydrates sugar?
Carbohydrates can be sugars or complex carbohydrates like starches. Simple carbohydrates, such as glucose and fructose, are sugars that provide quick energy, while complex carbohydrates, like bread and pasta, take longer to digest and provide sustained energy.
How do you obtain starch?
Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
Are polysaccharides also called simple carbohydrates?
No, polysaccharides are not called simple carbohydrates; they are classified as complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, such as sugars, consist of one or two sugar molecules (monosaccharides and disaccharides), while polysaccharides are made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
Is there simple sugars in flour?
Flour primarily contains complex carbohydrates, mainly in the form of starch, which is made up of long chains of glucose molecules. However, it does not contain significant amounts of simple sugars like glucose or fructose. During the digestion process, the starch in flour can be broken down into simple sugars, but in its raw form, flour is low in simple sugars.
Long chains of sugars are?
Long chains of sugars are polysaccharides. These large molecules are made up of numerous monosaccharide units linked together through glycosidic bonds. Examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
