Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ration of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates can exist as monosaccharides (simplest sugar), disaccharides (two sugar molecules), or polysaccharides (multiple sugar molecules). Carbohydrates are a source of energy, and they are structural materials.

Protiens are made up of amino acids, which are formed from the linkage of monomers. Protiens are also organic compounds. A monomer is just a fancy word for a carbon molecule.

Hope this helped! That's all I know.
