Carbohydrates are one of the four classes of organic molecules in living organisms. There are two types of carbohydrates namely the simple and complex. Simple which is also called simple sugar is found in white sugar and in fruits and milk. On the other hand, complex also called starches are in grain products. Examples of it would be bread, rice and pasta.
