Overview. Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains.

A turtle is an animal in armor. Much of its body lies within a protective shell, which has openings for the turtle's four chunky legs, short tail, and head. When danger threatens, many turtles pull legs, tail, and head into the shell.
People in China believe that the Turtle (or Tortoise) has a spirit just like humans do. They often used Turtle shells for divination. At the beginning of time it was a Turtle who helped Pâan Ku form the world. There is also another folk tale that tells us that Turtle holds the flat earth on its legs.
