Carbohydrates are made of what elements?
A
CHO
B
CHON
C
CHONP
D
CHONS
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and have a general formula that approximates CH2O. They are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or form polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones when hydrolyzed. Carbohydrates occur as monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO).

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates, which are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, are organic compounds that serve as a source of energy for animals and humans [1]. The main monosaccharide is glucose, which is utilized as an energy source by animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Structure of Monosaccharides Carbohydrates contain three different elements-carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (0).

Detailed explanation-5: -The general chemical formula of carbohydrate is (CH2O)n. For example-in the case of glucose, substitute n=6, then the chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6.
