Hydrocarbons are chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen and sometimes functional groups whereas carbohydrates have more complex structures made up of sugars made of mainly hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.
Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with an empirical formula of C . H2O ( hence the name carbo + hydrate).
Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms (e.g. Alkanes and Alkenes), whereas Carbohydrates are organic compounds that form the supporting tissues in plants and are important for animals to intake to be healthy (part of a balanced diet).
Hydrocarbons are simply made by carbon and hydrogen. Nevertheless there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons, due to the different bonds that can be formed by carbon atoms with other carbon atoms.
Carbohydrates are carbon-based molecules that are rich in hydroxyl groups (OH). Indeed, the empirical formula for many carbohydrates is (C-H2O)n-R , where R is a radical, for example an aminoacid residue.
Many different organic elements are formed by hydrocarbons by substitution, that is substituting an hyydrogen atom with a more complex radical
Hydrocarbon molecules have a particular spatial form due to the space orientation of C-H bonds. For example the methane molecule is done by the carbon atom at the center of a tetrahedron with the four hydrogen atoms at the vertices.
Complex carbohydrates-polymers of covalently linked monosaccharides-are called polysaccharides.
The main classes of hydrocarbons are:
The simplest hydrocarbons are methane (CH4) and Ethane (C2H6).
Simple carbohydrates are called monosaccharides and many of them are also normally called sugars.
A polysaccharide can be as simple as one comprising two identical monosaccharides. Or it can be as complex as one consisting of dozens of different monosaccharides that are linked to form a polysaccharide composed of millions of monosaccharides.
The variety of monosaccharides and the multiplicity of linkages forming polysaccharides mean that carbohydrates provide cells with a vast array of three-dimensional structures that can be used for a variety of purposes, as simple as energy storage or as complex as cell-cell recognition signals.
hydrocarbons are made of hydrogen and carbon atoms ONLY. eg CH4
carbohydrates are complex molecules.
Hydrocarbons are carbon and hydrogen. Methane is CH4, and propane is C3H8. Methene is CH3, and propene is C3H6. Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon. They have the general formula (CH2O)x.
because sum reason
Hydrocarbons and carbohydrates both contain carbon, and are therefore organic compounds.
hydrocarbons, they are called isomers
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
Yes
Hydrocarbons contain only hydrogen and carbon, whereas carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates, because they also contain oxygen, typically have more bonding variety.
conclusion for hydrocabon's structure and chemical structure
Carbohydrates, Hydrocarbons, or Lipids in Biology.
a steroids has one ring with five carbons and three rings with six carbons and for carbohydrates: Monosaccharide has only one and a disaccharide has two etc..

Ethane and heptane are hydrocarbons (chemical compounds containing hydrogen and carbon, most notably from decomposition of carbohydrates). Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons, also found as an oily liquid.
Carbohydrates is the chain of sugar in complex form and yes, since sugar had oxygen in its' structure carbohydrates would also contain oxygen in its' structure.
