Answer:

The chemical composition of carbohydrates includes two oxygens and one hydrogen for every carbon present.

Explanation:

Generally, each carbon atom in the carbohydrates has one oxygen molecule and 1 – 3 hydrogen (depending on the position of the carbon in the chain and also the types of bonds around it). Usually, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is approximately 2:1 Example of carbohydrates are starch and glycogen.
