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.
Leatherbacks are the largest of the sea turtles. Adult leatherback turtles are 4-8 feet long and weigh 650-1,300 lbs. They are mostly black on top with white and pink spots on the head, neck, and carapace.The plastron is mottled with pink, white and black.rabs and raccoons feed on the hatchlings when they first emerge out of their nest on the beach, and fish and seabirds are a threat to hatchlings in the water. Only sharks are large enough to prey upon adult sea turtles. Their flippers are especially vulnerable. Man is also a predator of the leatherback turtle.
