Are starches and sugars examples of carbohydrates?

Answer 1

Yes,they are.But you can think of them as carbohydrates at different levels......sugars are simpler than cellulose which is found in plants.Also satarch is the bit more complex carbohydrate(not as much as cellulose)which is stored in plants for their use whenever they need it...

Answer 2

Sugars and starches are, in fact, not lipids, but rather carbohydrates. Of the four biological macro molecules (carbohydrates/polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids), lipids are hydrophobic (not water soluble), less easily metabolized, and waxy or slippery to the touch. In contrast, sugars and starches are energy storying molecules and are soluble in water, which is consistent with the definition of a carbohydrate.

Answer 3

Yes, both starches and sugars are examples of carbohydrates. Starches are complex carbohydrates made of long chains of sugar molecules, while sugars are simple carbohydrates made of one or two sugar molecules.
