Foods high in simple carbohydrates include table sugar, honey, fruit juices, and candy. In contrast, foods rich in complex carbohydrates include whole grains (like brown rice and oats), legumes (such as lentils and beans), starchy vegetables (like potatoes and corn), and whole grain pasta. Simple carbohydrates provide quick energy, while complex carbohydrates offer longer-lasting energy and additional nutrients.

Which of the four types of macromolecules contains units called monosaccharides?

Carbohydrates contain units called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that serve as the building blocks of complex carbohydrates.


What are the four kinds of carbohydrates?

The four kinds of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars, disaccharides consist of two monosaccharide units, oligosaccharides have a small number of monosaccharide units, and polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates with many monosaccharide units.


Which type of the four types of macromolecules contain units called monosacchrides?

Carbohydrates are the type of macromolecules that contain units called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that serve as the building blocks for more complex carbohydrates.


What are complex carbohydrates-?

Complex carbohydrates are typically long, multiple-branched chains of sugar units. Complex carbohydrates generally take longer to digest and absorb, because their sugar units first must be separated from the chain. Starch that has been processed into fine particles, such as flour, is much more quickly absorbable than unprocessed foods. Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that accounts for less than the four Calories per gram of other carbohydrates. Granola bars, carrots, apples,and any fruit or vegetable contain complex carbohydrates.


Which of the four types of macromolecules contains units called monnosaccharides?

Carbohydrates are the type of macromolecules that contain units called monosaccharides. These simple sugars serve as the building blocks for more complex carbohydrates, such as disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.


What is the difference between simple and complex sugar?

Carbohydrates are one of the four macromolecules of life- Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids, and Carbohydrates. These molecules have simple forms called monomers and more complex forms called polymers. Starches are a polymer of carbohydrates or a complex form of carbohydrates. A monomer of carbohydrates is a monosaccharide or simple sugar. To make a polymer there needs to be more than one monomer together. An example is the monomer glucose. When you have two glucose molecules bonded together you get the polymer maltose. Monomers glucose and fructose bonded together makes polymer sucrose. These examples are disacchrides. Di- meaning two sacchrides- meaning sugar. Polysacchrides Poly- meaning many and sacchrides- meaning sugar. Starch is a polysacchride, so it has many monomers bonded together. Therefore a complex carbohydrate or a polymer of a carbohydrate.

What are four quality carbohydrate foods?

Spinach, broccoli, blueberries and apples are just four of the 'good' type of carbohydrates. As opposed to refined (processed) carbohydrates, which are the type of carbohydrates to be avoided, or limited, if one wishes to be healthy in the long term. If you are unsure what constitutes a refined (processed) carbohydrate, see the page link, further down this page listed under Related Questions.
