Reading the name will tell you.

But check it out: If you see CARB in a chemical's name you know there's CARBon in it, right? And if you see "hydrate" or something like it, there's water in it--one part oxygen, two parts hydrogen. (When you "hydrate" before you run a race you drink lots of water, and when you "dehydrate" some flowers you take all the water out of them, so "hydrate" means water.)


So...a carbohydrate contains one water molecule for every carbon atom as a general rule. Glucose is C6H12O6.
