Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Is glucose simple or complex?
A
Simple
B
Complex
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -simple carbohydrates (or simple sugars): including fructose, glucose, and lactose, which also are found in nutritious whole fruits. complex carbohydrates (or starches): found in foods such as starchy vegetables, whole grains, rice, and breads and cereals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple carbohydrates Sugars can be categorised as single sugars (monosaccharides), which include glucose, fructose and galactose, or double sugars (disaccharides), which include sucrose (table sugar), lactose and maltose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simple carbohydrates: These carbohydrates are composed of sugars (such as fructose and glucose) which have simple chemical structures composed of only one sugar (monosaccharides) or two sugars (disaccharides).

Detailed explanation-4: -Complex carbohydrates, containing three or more monosaccharides bonded together, are divided into oligosaccharides, with three to ten monosaccharides, and polysaccharides, with greater than ten monosaccharides bonded together. These complex carbohydrates include starches, glycogen, and dietary fibers.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two major types of carbs: simple and complex. The difference between them lies in the number of sugar molecules they contain. Simple carbs-also known as simple sugars-contain one or two sugar molecules, whereas complex carbs have three or more. A simple sugar may be a mono-or disaccharide.
