Answer 13

nah, that's not true. A carbohydrate is a hydrated carbon molecule with the formula \([C(H_2O)]_n\). Glucose is carbohydrate, specifically a monosaccharide. Whoever wrote the question doesn't even know what they're talking about.

it's possible that by carbohydrate they meant polysaccharide (like starch), which case it does break down into individual monosaccharide components.
