Reducing class size gained prominence as a federally supported school-improvement strategy in 2000, with the creation of a federal class-size-reduction program, which gave states funding to recruit, hire, and train new teachers.
Simple carbohydrates have one (single) or two (double) sugars. Complex carbohydrates have three or more sugars.â Examples of simple carbs include fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar). Complex carbs, sometimes called starches, include legumes, potatoes, rice and grain products. Note that the simple/complex distinction is completely arbitrary. At molecule 3 in the chain of sugars we simply start calling it complex.
Sugar can take many forms but the most common are sucrose, glucose, and fructose. If one is searching for the lowest common denominator, there should then just be glucose and fructose because these two monosaccharides are the building blocks of sucrose. There are many similarities between glucose and fructose. They are both simple sugars, and are monosaccharides. Simple sugars contain only one type of carbohydrate as opposed to two like the disaccharide sucrose. The chemical formula for glucose and fructose are also the same: C6(H2O)6.
