Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms; prior to any oxidation or reduction, most have the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are organic compounds that are organized as ring structures and are always composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrate is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Its chief function is to provide energy for physiological activities. Starch, sugar, glucose and cellulose are different forms of carbohydrate.
