It refers to attachment of hydrogen and carbon
carbohydrate in french is hydrate de carbone ---- This is the correct spelling.
hydrate dehydrate rehydrate
The suffix on most carbohydrate names is "-ose." This suffix is added to indicate that the molecule is a sugar or a carbohydrate.
Yes, the word "carbohydrate" has its roots in "carbo-" meaning carbon and "hydrate" referring to water. Carbohydrates are compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, with the general formula (CH2O)n.
Bread is a carbohydrate, so look at the word. The carbo in carbohydrate means carbon, and the hydrate means hydrogen and oxygen. So yes bread does contain carbon.
The term "carbohydrate" comes from the chemical composition of these compounds, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. The "carbo-" prefix refers to carbon, while the "-hydrate" suffix suggests the presence of water molecules in the structure.
hydrate
aquation means to hydrate.
They are all composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, in which hydrogen and oxygen are present in the ratio of 2H:1O (like water, hence the term "hydrate"). The term carbohydrate means carbon combined with water.
i think it means deca-octa hydrate..
The word hydrate in the chemical name of a compound normally means thatthe compound has water molecules in the compound molecular structure. Thatis not the case in Carbohydrates.A Carbohydrate is an organic compound with the empirical formula CxH2nOn.The ratio of H to O is that of water, but that does not mean there are actuallywater molecules in them.Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes, polyhydroxy ketones or compoundsthat can be hydrolyzed to them.Examples of carbohydrates are: glucose, sucrose, lactose, starch, cellulose.
A carbohydrate is a molecule composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). There are many types of carbohydrates referred to as sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar) and glucose (bodies' primary energy source). Starch is an example of a polysaccharide, a chain of many monosaccharides, or simple sugars.
