When molecules of sugar join together to form long chains they are called starches or simple carbohydrates?
Starches are complex carbohydrates made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of only one or two sugar molecules. Both starches and simple carbohydrates provide energy to the body, but starches take longer to break down and provide sustained energy, while simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and provide a rapid source of energy.
Starches are examples of?
complex carbohydrates found in foods like bread, pasta, and potatoes. They serve as a major source of energy for the body and are composed of long chains of sugar molecules.
