Description | Carbohydrates are one of the three main macronutrients essential to human health, along with proteins and fats. They are organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, typically with a hydrogen-to-oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water). Carbohydrates exist in simple forms like sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides) and complex forms like starches and fiber (oligosaccharides and polysaccharides). | ||||||||
