Biology

The difference is in their chemical structure. Simple carbohydrates have a simpler molecular form, and as such are super easy to digest and fairly quick form of energy. Sucrose and Fructose are examples of such simple carbohydrates
 
Complex Carbohydrates, form a larger chain, and come packed with fiber. They have more advanced components that offer better health benefits (fiber) and are digested for more energy. Additionally Complex carbs are used by organisms to store large amounts of backup energy. Examples of such things include Starch (plants) and Glycogen (animals and Humans).

Which of the three types of viruses shown above would you expect to include glycoproteins?
Mademuasel [1]
The correct answer is D: I and II only.
Viruses have protein capsids, which protect their genetic material. This capsid sometimes is covered by viral envelopes which have glycoproteins on their surface. Glycoproteins help in the process of binding to the host cell and infecting it. In this example, virus III has the structure of a bacteriophage and it does not seem to have glycoproteins. Bacteriophages use their tail fibers to attach to the bacterial host and inject their genetic material. On the contrary, viruses I and II have glycoproteins sticking out of their envelopes.
