Explanation:
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 have the highest oxygen to carbon ratio of any of the important organic molecules. Common monosaccharides include: glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and deoxyribose. Notice that the name of each of these sugars ends with the suffix-ose. This suffix, -ose, means full, specifically, full of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence the hydrogen oxygen ration in carbohydrates is 2:1.
