Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are a class of chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in 1:2:1 ratio, respectively.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are hydrocarbons which are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones having C: H: O ratio as 1:2:1, as in glucose which has molecular formula C6H12O6. All carbohydrates, however, do not show this ratio, for example, rhamnose is a crystalline sugar, C6H12O5.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen are in a 2:1 ratio, just like water. Glucose, the most famous simple sugar, has the chemical formula C6H12O6.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is a carb ratio? A carb ratio (also called carbohydrate to insulin ratio) is the number of grams of carbohydrate covered by one unit of rapid acting insulin.
