Starch is basically long chains of sugar. The longer the chains the harder to break down. Bacteria produces enzymes that break down these chains into their sugar parts. Carbs is just anything that contains sugar, so sugar or starch doesn’t matter.

The good thing about starch compared to sugar is that you slowly get the energy instead of all at once.
