Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are a class of chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in 1:2:1 ratio, respectively.
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. Many molecules that give energy to living organisms get that energy from some sort of carbohydrate like sugars, starch, or cellulose.
