Answer;

-Carbohydrates

Sugar is a component of carbohydrates.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Carbohydrates are among the four important biomolecules, others being nucleic acids, proteins and lipids.

-Sugars are simple carbohydrates including fructose, glucose, and lactose, which are found in nutritious whole fruits.

-Carbohydrates take the form of either sugars or starches (complex carbohydrates); however, a starch is simply a long chain of sugar molecules strung together, therefore, they both end up as the same thing once they enter your blood stream.
