Carbohydrates

  • These can be defined as the hydrates of carbon. But this definition also applies to some other compounds that do not fall under the category of carbohydrate.
  • So, the carbohydrates are defined as polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. 
  • Carbohydrates can be represented by the stoichiometric formula (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbons in the molecule.
  • The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1 in carbohydrate molecules.

Cellulose is a polysaccharide. It has ten or more than ten sugar units.
