Answer:

What Are Carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are the major components of plant tissue, making up to 60% to 90% of the dry matter (DM). Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the proportion found in water (CH2O) and are hence hydrates of carbon. Carbohydrates are the basic energy source in animal cells. Dietary carbohydrates obtained from plant-based products serve as a major source of energy for the animal. The chlorophyll in plant cells traps solar energy and produces carbohydrates using carbon dioxide and water and gives off oxygen, as shown in the following equation:

solar energy + 6 CO2 + 6 H20 → C6H2O + 6 O2.
