Best Answer

The structural elements of carbohydrates are carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. The carhons form open ring-structures with hydrogen and -OH attached to them. So for instance you get hexose sugars composed of C6 structures like glucose, and pentose sugars (C5) et cetera.

These single units form polimers. Two glucoses form the disaccharide maltose. Glucose + galactose form lactose (milk sugar) and glucose + fructose form sucrose (table sugar).
