Understanding Carbohydrates: The Basics of Sugars and Their Chemical Structure

Carbohydrates are essential organic compounds consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), commonly represented by the formula CH2O. Their structure reflects a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, similar to water, which is AH2O. Examples include ribose (C5H10O5), glucose (C6H12O6), and sucrose (C12H22O11), with many carbohydrate names ending in "-ose." This overview provides a foundational understanding of carbohydrates and their significance in biological processes.
