Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Carbohydrates are made of these three elements, put together in the shape of a “ring” and with a ratio of 1:2:1

A	C:H:O
B	C:H:P
C	C:O:P
D	C:N:P

Explanation:

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are made of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Each carbon atom is bonded to at least one oxygen atom. All carbohydrates include an aldehyde or ketone group and a hydroxyl group. Carbohydrates may form long chains that are either straight or branched.
