nomenclature and structures
The word "carbohydrate" refers to the majority of simple carbohydrates, which have the general elemental composition Cx(H2O)y. It is derived from the German "kohlenhydrate" and the related French "hydrate de carbone." According to the following imbalanced equation, their composition is related to the fact that they are created by photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and water:
Sugar + O2 + CO2 + H2O
The vast majority of naturally occurring carbohydrates present in living things, however, do not have the straightforward empirical formula Cx(H2O)y. Instead, the majority of naturally occurring carbohydrates are composed of oligomers (oligosaccharides or polymers (polysaccharides [Chapter 4]) by combining sugars with the other components of other molecules monosaccharide.
