Overview. Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains. Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as peas, beans, whole grains, and vegetables. Both simple and complex carbohydrates are turned to glucose (blood sugar) in the body and are used as energy.
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.
The Green Sea Turtle is a Chelonian-which means it has four legs and a tough shell made of two parts which join at the sides. Chelonians also have strong horny mouths with no teeth. There are three types of Chelonians-tortoises live on land, terrapins live in fresh water and turtles live in the sea.
