Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Simple carbohydrates are in foods such as table sugar and syrups. Complex carbohydrates contain longer chains of sugar molecules than simple carbohydrates. The body converts these sugar molecules into glucose, which it uses for energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simply put, simple carbohydrates are sugars. They include the white table sugar we think of when we hear the word “sugar.” But they also include naturally occurring sugars such as those found in fruit and milk, and the refined sugars added to many processed foods.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are the body’s most important and readily available source of energy. They’re a necessary part of a healthy diet for both kids and adults.

Detailed explanation-4: -Simple carbs are found in everything from table sugar to fruit, while complex carbs, or starches, come from whole grains and vegetables like sweet potatoes. Both types of carbs give your body energy. Simple carbohydrates provide short bursts of energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates-fiber, starches and sugars-are essential food nutrients that your body turns into glucose to give you the energy to function. Complex carbs in fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products are less likely to spike blood sugar than simple carbs (sugars). Low-carb diets like keto can be high in fats.
