Answer: natural state, not processed
◉ empty calories
Answer: calories derived from food containing no nutrients
◉ simple carbs
Answer: monosaccharides and disaccharides
◉ complex carbs
Answer: oligosaccharides, glycogen, starch and fiber
◉ glucose (blood sugar)
,Answer: main provider of energy for body; produced by plants
during photosynthesis
fodos: component of disaccharide or starch
