Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How do the number of H atoms compare to the number of O atoms in a carbohydrate?
A
There are TWICE as many H
B
They are the same amount
C
There are THREE times as many H
D
There are TWICE as many O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and like water (H2O), there are always twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms in each molecule. Carbohydrates are a large and diverse group that includes sugars, starches, glycogen and cellulose.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose, fructose, and galactose each has twice the number of hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms. 5. Water has twice the number of hydrogen atoms as the number of oxygen atoms. 6.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are a group of organic compounds containing a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence the hydrogen oxygen ration in carbohydrates is 2:1.
