No, an aldehyde is not a carbohydrate. Aldehydes are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to at least one hydrogen atom. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are a class of organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, typically with a general formula of (CH₂O)n, and they include sugars and starches. While some carbohydrates can contain aldehyde groups (like glucose), not all aldehydes are carbohydrates.
