Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are biochemical compounds that include sugar, starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is a glucan, meaning it only consists of glucose molecules all linked together. The general molecular formula for starch is ( C6H10O5)n.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sugars are an important structural component of various biological materials. For example, nucleic acids, such as RNA and DNA, have a sugar component in them, i.e. ribose and deoxyribose, respectively.
