Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which elements combine to form carbohydrates?
A
Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen
B
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
C
Carbon, Potassium, and Calcium
D
Carbon, Calcium, and Hydrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms; prior to any oxidation or reduction, most have the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.

Detailed explanation-3: -8) Carbohydrates are the compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. These atoms are arranged together in an specific order to form carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -This view represents these molecules simply as “hydrated” carbon atom chains in which water molecules attach to each carbon atom, leading to the term “carbohydrates.” Although all carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, there are some that also contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and/or sulfur.
