There are many different carbohydrates. Think about the formula. Carbo means carbon and hydrates means they partly consist of hydrogen and oxygen in about a 2:1 ratio, like H2O, right?
Glucose is C6H12O6... and other carbohydrates have similar formulas... consisting of those three atoms with about a 1:2:1 ratio.

Lots of things are classed as carbohydrates. My suspicion is that the answer you're looking for is glucose and fructose however.
