Sucrose is not a simple sugar (fructose+glucose). Neither are maltose (glucose+glucose) or lactose (galactose+glucose).
Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate in the sense it exists in our muscles and livers - but it's hardly a nutritional component.
Cholesterol really isn't a type of saturated fat - it's a steroid alcohol, or sterol. It also makes up such a tiny portion of our caloric intake it's hardly worth mentioning.
Dextrose is basically the contraction for dextrorotatory glucose, the right optical isomer of glucose (dexter = right). This is the same type of glucose found in your blood.
Maltose is two glucose (dextrose) molecules bound together.
