Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbohydrates that are made up of one or two sugar units are called:
A
Complex carbohydrates
B
Polymers
C
Saccharomyces
D
Simple sugars
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are comprised of a single simple sugar unit, glucose, fructose, or galactose, and they cannot be broken down into simple sugar units. These three monosaccharides are combined in various ways to make more complex carbohydrates. Disaccharides are comprised of two monosaccharides bonded together.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple sugars, such as glucose, consist of just one monosaccharide. Some sugars, such as sucrose, or table sugar, consist of two monosaccharides and are called disaccharides. Complex carbohydrates, or polysaccharides, consist of hundreds or even thousands of monosaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are made up of three components: fiber, starch, and sugar. Fiber and starch are complex carbs, while sugar is a simple carb.
