Answer:

Carbohydrates are found in foods that contain starch and sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbohydrates are biomolecules present in many types of food and considered as the main energy source in a balanced human diet. They can be found in foods in the form of sugars, starches or fiber.

  • Starches are complex carbohydrates called polysaccharides, which have a structure of 10 or more interconnected molecules. Starch is used by plants as a form of energy storage, so it can be found in various roots, fruits, tubers and seeds that are used for human consumption.
  • Sugars are carbohydrates that have simpler structures, composed of one or two interconnected molecules (monosaccharides or disaccharides) and are present in various types of foods, such as fruits (which have fructose) and sugarcane (which has sucrose).
