Is a carbohydrate inorganic or organic?

Answer 1

Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of molecules of carbon plus hydrogen plus oxygen. Examples are sugar, alcohols, fats, starch and complex carbohydrates from fruit and vegetables called cellulose.

Answer 2

No, carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen(hence the name), the simplest example being a simple sugar (monosaccharide). Since they are based on carbon and hydrogen (carbon-based chemistry) they must be considered organic rather than inorganic.

Answer 3

Carbohydrates are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are a fundamental source of energy for living organisms.

Answer 4

The chemical formula for a carbohydrate molecule is: CH4 I'm pretty sure that based on the atomic components of carbohydrates that it is organic. Not 100% sure, but i'd put my money on it

Answer 5

organic compound. because carbohydrate is a chemical substance containing carbon.

and it is important for living organisims.

Answer 6

Yes carbohydrates are organic compounds, they contain carbon hydrogen and oxygen. Sugars are an example.

Answer 7

organic compound. because carbohydrate is a chemical substance containing carbon. and it is important for living organisims

Answer 8

Yes, carbohydrates are organic compounds. They are carbon-based molecules with varying amounts of hydrogen and oxygen.

Answer 9

Organic compounds consists of molecules that contains a carbon-atom.

Carbohydrates are made from hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.

So yes. Carbohydrates are organic compounds.

Answer 10

Yes. Things like glucose and galactose are all organic.
