They may be simple carbohydrates like glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, deoxyribose etc. in the simple carbohydrates only one sugar molecule is present. There are complex carbohydrates sucrose (cane sugar), lactose (milk sugar) glycogen (animal starch), starch, cellulose etc. They have more than one sugar (2 to several hundreds) molecule in them. Complex carbohydrates are broken down to simple sugars by hydrolyses in digestive system and the simple sugars are absorbed.
