    Answer: Carbon Hydrogen and water

    1:2:1

    Explanation:

    Carbohydrates are made of Carbon Hydrogen and water. Hence, they are represented by a general formula Cx (H2O) y.

    Carbohydrates have carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in ratio 1:2:1, as is found in glucose (C6H12O6), Glycerose (C3H6O3), Ribose (C5H10O5).

    Thus, in all sugars carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are found in ratio 1:2:1
