Look at their name....

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules ONLY composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. So, their structure would be just covalent bonds between the three elements, and most likely non-polar.

They give out a lot of energy, and carbohydrates are also known as sugars. Most foods have them. We eat them to produce #"ATP"# for our body to use.

Larger, complex carbohydrates are known as polysaccharides, and make up majority of the plant's cell wall as cellulose.
