Cx.(H2O)y : As their name suggests, carbohydrates are hydrates of C.
Most abundant molecules: 100 billion tons of cellulose is produced annually
70-80% human energy needs
>90% dry matter of plants(photosynthesis)
Monomers and polymers: when oxidized they yield energy. And energy can be stored as CHO too.
Also found in biological molecules like DNA, and RNA, and some coenzymes.
