Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula CH2O, and thus were once thought to represent "hydrated carbon". However, the arrangement of atoms in
carbohydrates has little to do with water
molecules.
Full article >>>Carbohydrates (literally hydrates of carbon) are chemical
compounds that act as the primary biological means of storing or consuming energy, other forms being fat and
