Terms are used to describe carbohydrates based on the number of molecules of sugar present. Simple carbohydrates contain either one or two molecules. Complex carbohydrates contain hundreds to thousands of molecules. Q simple carbohydrates are commonly referred to as sugars; can either be a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. Q the three most common monosaccharides in our diet are: Each monosaccharide contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
