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.
