What are the 3 elements in a carbohydrate compound?
carbon,hydrogen and oxygen atoms form an org......................................................
What happens to the carbo in natural gas when the gas burns in insuficiant amount of oxygen?
A single carbon atom bonds with a single oxygen atom to form Carbon Monoxide a tasteless, odourless and poisonous gas to humans.The chemical equation is:C + O2 -> CO + H2OHope this helps!
Do carbohydrates contain mostly carbon and hydrogen with some oxygen but in no specific ratio?
No. Carbohydrates are carbon with water (most of the time). The ratio is 1 carbon to 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygens. The name does tell you: carbo- (carbon) + hydrate (water). So the generic formula is CHO2.I think you have it backwards. The general formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O, not CHO2.
How organic compound contains only the elements carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are the general components of a carbohydrate. The general formula of a carbohydrate is as follows: Cx(H2x)Ox *Even if it is not known that these are the components of a carbohydrate, it can be deduced from the name: CARBO-HYD-RATE The "carbo" refers to "carbon", the "hyd" refers to "hydrogen", and any molecule which contains "ate" at the end will ALWAYS contain oxygen.
What substances are likely to be present in fiber?
There are many types of fiber found in both plants and animals. Generally speaking, fiber is a class of organic chemical called a carbohydrate. The carbo- prefix indicates the presence of carbon (C). They -hyd- in the middle is your clue for hydrogen (H). And the -ate suffix in chemistry means oxygen (O). So, fiber contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Those three elements can combine in hundreds of different ways!

What is in carbohydrates and not protein?
Carbon hydrogen and oxygen -- henece the name carbo -hydrate
What are three major atoms found in carbohydrates?
The only three atoms found in carbohydrates are Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H). They are named carbohydrates after these three elements, carbo from carbon and hydratefrom water, which is H2O.
Carbon monoxide will interfere with ATP production by?
binding to the hydrogen ions creating carbo-hyrogenomonoxide, therefor blocking the atp synthanes gaining 0 net ATP
Is carbohydrate has a root word?
Yes, the word "carbohydrate" has its roots in "carbo-" meaning carbon and "hydrate" referring to water. Carbohydrates are compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, with the general formula (CH2O)n.
What compound does sodium carbon dioxide and carbo monoxide make?
it makes nothing
What are the 3 monosaccharides?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.[This can be found enclosed in the name: 'carbohydrate', in which 'carbo' refers to carbon, and 'hydrate' means water, H2O, made of hydrogen and oxygen]
What three elements make up both carbohydrates and lipids?
Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Proteins can contain other elements as well (most commonly nitrogen in the amine group), but the only elements in all three groups are carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
Why is carbon called the element of life?
Carbon's ability to combine with other carbon atoms and other elements allows it to produce a vast array of chemical substances. The secret of this unusual element lies in its atomic structure. Carbon's atomic number is 6. It is a small atom with four electrons in its outer valence level, and it needs four more electrons to fill its valence level. It usually does this by making four covalent bonds with other atoms. Carbon's small size also allows it to make short, strong, stable covalent bonds.
Where does blood exchange carbo dioxide for oxygen?
in the lungs
Where does the term carbohydrate come from?
Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all in a constant 1:2:1 ratio. Hence the name Carbo (carbon) hydra (hydrogen) and the ending 'ate' refers to oxygen.
What are the two most common elements found in large biomolecules?
Carbon is handy because it handily forms chains - fill in the empty valences surrounding these chains with hydrogen atoms and we have the two-element hydrocarbons. Add atoms of the element oxygen to obtain carbo-hydr-ates. Further adding nitrogen (it actually gets put in the chain) gives us proteins from amino acids.
