It sort of depends on how restrictive your definition of "carbohydrate" is. If you're using it in a way synonymous with "saccharide" (common, but not necessarily the only possible definition), then they will have hydroxyl groups and might have either an aldehyde or a ketone group (or they may not, for example glucose in its hemiacetal form), but they will not have a carboxylic acid group.

Is OH found in many proteins?

If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.


What functional group are found in a monosaccharide?

Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbon atoms and the types of functional groups present in the sugar. For example, glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but a different structure: glucose having an aldehyde (internal hydroxyl shown as: -OH) and fructose having a keto group (internal double-bond O, shown as: =O). This functional group difference, as small as it seems, accounts for the greater sweetness of fructose as compared to glucose.
