∙ 11y agoThe exception to the rule of ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is found in maltose, where the ratio is 2:1 instead of 2:3, due to the formation of a glycosidic bond between two glucose molecules.
This is a common ratio for carbohydrate compounds, saccharides, glucosides, cellulose and starch, etc. etc.
The ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of glucose or any other carbohydrate is two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, the same as in water. This is why they are called carbohydrates. This is a fundamental property of carbohydrates.
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is 2H:1O, which is the same ratio as in water molecules.
No. Carbohydrates are carbon with water (most of the time). The ratio is 1 carbon to 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygens. The name does tell you: carbo- (carbon) + hydrate (water). So the generic formula is CHO2.I think you have it backwards. The general formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O, not CHO2.

The hydrogen- oxygen ratio is 2:1, which is the same ratio in water.
They have a 2:1 ratio
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates have a ratio of CHO of 1:2:1. Fats have CHO but with a different ratio. Proteins have CHO and nitrogen.
Both carbohydrates and water contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates have a specific ratio of these elements, while water is a simple compound with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
This is a common ratio for carbohydrate compounds, saccharides, glucosides, cellulose and starch, etc. etc.
Carbohydrates are composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1. The general formula for carbohydrates is (CH2O)n, where n is the number of repeating units.

carbohydrates
The chemical elements found in carbohydrates are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is 2:1, which is the same as the ratio you provided (12:1). This ratio reflects the basic molecular structure of carbohydrates, such as glucose.
Consist of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms, normally with a hydrogen: oxygen atom ratio of 2 to 1. Carbohydrates are technically hydrates of carbon.
Yes Lipids contain less oxygen because the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen for carbohydrates is 2:1 while for lipids it varies but let's say its for Lauric acid (CH3C10H20COOH) the ratio is 12 hydrogen for 1 oxygen. So lipids do contain less oxygen than carbohydrates
A carbohydrate has a 121 ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio that can be simplified to CnH2nOn.
