Carbohydrates are organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, primarily serving as energy sources and structural components in living organisms. Hydrocarbons consist solely of carbon and hydrogen, mainly functioning as fuels. Their differing compositions and roles highlight their unique significance in chemistry.
