Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How do the number of H atoms compare to the number of O atoms in a carbohydrate? (think about the ratio)
A
There are TWICE as many H
B
They are the same amount
C
There are THREE times as many H
D
There are TWICE as many O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Complete answer: Carbohydrates usually have a ratio of two hydrogen molecules for one oxygen molecule, just like water along with the same number of oxygen atoms and carbon atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms used to make water molecules is always 2:1, no matter how many water molecules are being made.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose, fructose, and galactose each has twice the number of hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms. 5. Water has twice the number of hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms. 6.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence the hydrogen oxygen ration in carbohydrates is 2:1.
