a) During digestion, starches and sugars are broken down both mechanically (e.g. through chewing) and chemically (e.g. by enzymes) into the single units glucose, fructose, and/or galactose, which are absorbed into the blood stream and transported for use as energy throughout the body.

b)Beans. Think three-bean salad, bean burritos, chili, soup.

Whole grains. That means whole-wheat bread, pasta, etc.

Brown rice. White rice doesn't offer much fiber.

Popcorn. It's a great source of fiber.

Nuts.

c) Carbohydrates are naturally occurring sugars, starches and fiber in food. All carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules. Sugar molecules linked together form starches and fiber. In the body, starches and sugars are broken down in the digestive system to glucose.
