Carbohydrates are the body's main source of fuel. The simplest are single sugars like glucose and fructose, and table sugar is sucrose, a pair of them joined. Starch found in grains and root vegetables is a complex carbohydrate, a long chain that digestion breaks down more slowly for steadier energy. Whatever the body does not use right away is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. This word puzzle gathers eleven terms.
