    Carbohydrates can be simple or complex, with simple carbohydrates like monosaccharides and disaccharides being the most basic units that provide energy through digestion and cellular metabolism, ultimately being converted to glucose, while complex carbohydrates like polysaccharides provide fiber and are found in plants as starches and in animals as glycogen stored in muscle and liver.
