Vedclass · Answer

(C) Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones with the general formula $(CH_2O)_n$. In this general formula,the ratio of hydrogen $(H)$ atoms to oxygen $(O)$ atoms is $2:1$. However,not all carbohydrates strictly follow this ratio. For example,Deoxyribose $(C_5H_{10}O_4)$ is a carbohydrate where the ratio of $H$ to $O$ is not $2:1$. Therefore,the ratio can be $2:1$ or it may not be $2:1$.

$(1)$ Starch	$(a)$ Common sugar used in respiration
$(2)$ Glycogen	$(b)$ Sugar present in the structure of $ATP$
$(3)$ Ribose	$(c)$ Sugar stored in liver and muscles
$(4)$ Glucose	$(d)$ Sugar stored as starch granules

What is the ratio of $H$ and $O$ in carbohydrates?
