Carbohydrates: Structure and Types

Simple sugar = Includes glucose and fructose Complex sugar = Includes lactose, maltose, and sucrose Starch = Complex carbohydrate found in plant cell walls Cellulose = Complex carbohydrate found in food that provides energy

Carbon = Element found in carbohydrates Oxygen = Element found in carbohydrates Hydrogen = Element found in carbohydrates Nitrogen = Element not found in carbohydrates

Supply energy = Function of carbohydrates in the body Build cell walls = Function of cellulose Provide structure = Function of starch Regulate body temperature = Function not related to carbohydrates
