Answer:

Sugars are a type of carbohydrates. They are produced by plants and release energy when they are broken down into smaller molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrates molecules include sugars, starches, gums, and cellulose. The smallest carbohydrates are commonly called sugars. Glucose, fructose sucrose, and starch are carbohydrates that are produced in plants as results of the photosynthesis. In the photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide to convert solar energy into organic molecules, including sugars.
