BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple carbohydrates include monosaccharides (glucose, galactose, and fructose) and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, and maltose). Complex carbohydrates include the following polysaccharides: starch (amylose and amylopectin), glycogen, and fiber.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple carbohydrates contain the monosaccharide and disaccharide groups. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -One sugar molecule or two sugar molecules bonded together is considered a “simple carbohydrate.” Sucrose is a simple carb. A complex carb, on the other hand, has three or more sugars linked together. Fibers and starches are examples of complex carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maltose is a simple sugar that is found in malt or formed in the body when starch is broken down. Maltose and other sugars are important sources of energy for the body. However, excess added sugar may have negative health impacts.
