Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are the most common type of organic compound. A carbohydrate is an organic compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose and starch are different forms of carbohydrates. Glucose is a monosaccharide or the simplest carbohydrate and starch is a polysaccharide or a complex carbohydrate. Glucose is a six-carbon monosaccharide (hexose) containing an aldehyde group. They cannot be hydrolyzed further into simpler forms.
