Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are large macromolecules consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) and have the general Cx(H2O)y formula. Carbohydrates have the general formula Cx(H2O)y. The hydrate of carbon is known as carbohydrates. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same proportion as in water.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a Carbohydrate? Carbohydrate literally means “hydrated carbon” and the chemical abbreviation is CHO which means it contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
