Starchy carbohydrates take longer to be digested, therefore they do not flood the body with sugar the way rapidly digested sugary carbohydrates do, and when the blood sugar rises very rapidly, that brings about a large insulin secretion which places a strain on the pancreas.

Yes! They are better for you than simple carbohydrates which break down quickly & are full of not so healthy things.
Yes. I just did a lab with regard to that exact question in biology yesterday. However, I do not know why cassava is more 'starchy' than potato.
Because it is healthier and can be less sugary. It also should have less chemicals and is a more natural product.
carbohydrates provides energy for your body. It has less energy than lipids (fats) but its healthy for yourbody. It will not cause you to have cholestrol. The foods that are rich in carbohydrates are banana and bread.
Considering that complex carbohydrates or oligosaccharides are those that contain variable numbers of N-acetyllactosamine units, as well as sialic acid and/or fucose residues linked to the core, the best examples of these kinds of complex molecules, are those present in the red cell cytoplasmic membranes from where the "blood types" are distinguished.
One can only be better than the other if you describe what you want to accomplish. If you want a sugary dessert with a lot of fatty goodness, a cake is probably better. If you want a denser dessert with a flaky crust and smooth filling then a pie is better.

Fats are a better source of energy than carbohydrates on a per carbon basis because fats contain more carbon-hydrogen bonds, which store more energy when broken down compared to the carbon-oxygen bonds in carbohydrates. This means that fats provide more energy per carbon atom when metabolized.
the amount of sugar in a candy varies from 45% to about 85%.Hence it is a quantitative entity rather than qualitative.Something that you might consider sugary might not be really sugary for someone else.
For optimal health and weight management, it is generally better to consume excess calories from carbohydrates rather than fat. This is because carbohydrates provide energy for the body and are less likely to be stored as fat compared to excess calories from fat. However, it is important to focus on consuming healthy carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables rather than refined sugars and processed foods.
I think it's just the opposite, a natural snack like an apple rather than a sugary snack, is better for energy on hikes. You definitely don't need a sugar crash on a hike.
