Lipids are mainly long carbon chains with hydrogen on the side chains : thus the majority of the molecule has a ratio of 2 to 1 hydrogen to carbon.
In the body we use fatty acids which will have only a single or a double oxygen atom at one end where the fats connect to each other (and to bind to proteins for metabolic uses). Some fats have a Phosphate bond.
No fixed ratio for H:O!

∙ 12y agoThe hydrogen/oxygen ratio is always 2:1. The ratio of carbon varies; for monosaccharides it's usually 1 carbon to 1 oxygen, but for polysaccharides there will be more carbons than oxygens (joining two monosaccharides is accomplished by a dehydration reaction that removes two hydrogens and one oxygen from the molecule).

∙ 11y agoThe C to H ratio does not matter; what does is the H to O ratio (hydrogen to oxygen). Carbohydrates are composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). Therefore, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is always 2:1.

∙ 11y agoIn carbohydrates (CH2O) the ratio is quite clear: 1:2:1
In proteines however there is (in mean values) less oxygen and more nitrogen:
C1.0H1.8O0.5N0.2 , so H to O ratio is 3.6 to 1

What is the carbon hydrogen oxygen ratio in proteins?
The carbon to hydrogen to oxygen ratio in proteins is 1:1.8:0.5. This is much more specific and complicated than the same three's ratio in carbohydrates, which is 1:2:1.
Which element out of Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen Sulfur and Nitrogen is not found in carbohydrates?
You shouldn't find nitrogen or sulphur in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Are carbon hydrogen and oxygen carbohydrates?
No. On their own they are elements. Carbohydrates do consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, but these elements can combine to make other compounds as well.
Is hydrogen found in carbohydrates?
Yes, all carbohydrates are molecules that consist of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What are molecules consisting of carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Such compounds are called "carbohydrates", if they contain hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms in an atomic ratio of 2:1, as most compounds containing only the three specified elements do.
What so proteins carbohydrates and lipids have in common?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates have a ratio of CHO of 1:2:1. Fats have CHO but with a different ratio. Proteins have CHO and nitrogen.
What are composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of one carbon two hydrogen and one oxygen?
This is a common ratio for carbohydrate compounds, saccharides, glucosides, cellulose and starch, etc. etc.
What is made of carbon hydrogen and oxygen in a 1 to 2 to 1 ratio?
carbohydrates
All carbohydrates are made up of what?
Consist of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms, normally with a hydrogen: oxygen atom ratio of 2 to 1. Carbohydrates are technically hydrates of carbon.
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.
What chemical elements are found in carbohydrates usually ratio 121?
Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1 as: (C1H2O1)n
What is the ratio of carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms in carbohydrates?
It varies from one carbohydrate to another.
What is carbohydrates build of?
CHO carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen Usually in a ratio of (CH2O)n...
Which chemical elements are found in carbohydrates usually in the ratio 121?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A+
How does the ratio compare with hydrogen and oxgen atoms ratio in carbohydrates?
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is 2H:1O, which is the same ratio as in water molecules.
What chemical are found in carbohydrates usually in the ratio 121?
Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1 as: (C1H2O1)n
What is the carbon hydrogen oxygen ratio in proteins?
The carbon to hydrogen to oxygen ratio in proteins is 1:1.8:0.5. This is much more specific and complicated than the same three's ratio in carbohydrates, which is 1:2:1.
