BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates usually have a ratio of two hydrogen for one oxygen (just like water) along with the same number of oxygen atoms and carbon atoms. Many molecules that give energy to living organisms get that energy from some sort of carbohydrate like sugars, starch, or cellulose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and have a general formula that approximates CH2O. They are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or form polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones when hydrolyzed. Carbohydrates occur as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are a group of organic compounds containing a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrate molecules is 1:2:1. The component carbon (C, carbo-) and the component water (H20, -hydrate) give the name to this group of organic molecules.
