Carbohydrates (CHO)
ANSC 2401 CHO Definition:
Organic compounds that contain ______Ratio of C to H to O is 1:2:1
(C·H2O)n
1 2
Carbohydrates (CHO)
Example: Glucose Chemical Classification of (C·H O) 2 n Carbohydrates
Glucose = C6H12O6
Each carbon is hydrated with a water molecule, hence the name “hydrates of carbon” or carbohydrate.
