Carbohydrates are known to be a large group of organic compounds which is seen in foods and living tissues. Carbohydrates usually contain hydrogen and carbon and are in the ratio 2:1. When broken down, it releases energy which animals use for work.
Two known common carbohydrates are the starch and cellulose. They are macromolecules and are also polymers. Their monomers are units of sugar (glucose). Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula C<em>m</em>(H2O)<em>n </em>(where <em>m</em> and <em>n </em>represent numbers).
