Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Simple carbohydrates are found in foods like milk (lactose), sugar (sucrose), and honey (a natural form of sugar). These carbohydrates are easily broken down by the body into glucose, providing quick energy. Almonds and romaine lettuce, on the other hand, contain more complex carbohydrates and fiber, which take longer for the body to break down.
