Chapter 20, Problem 20.6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term carbohydrate should be defined.

Concept Introduction:

Carbohydrates means hydrate of carbon, they have the general formula Cm(H2O)n (m and n can be same or different). For example: the formula of Glucose is C6 H12 O6, which can alternatively be written as C6 (H2 O)6.

At the molecular level, carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and polyhydroxy ketones.
