An exce ive presence of carbon compounds in the blood, i. e., imperfect elimination of carbon dioxid from the blood. [Lat, carbo, carbon, + aim a, blood.] carbohydrate (kar-bo-hi'drat). As the name implies, a compound of carbon with oxygen and hydrogen, the latter elements being in the same proportion in which they unite to form water, which is not always the case. They are polyhydroxyaldehyds and ketones. They are divided into the simple and the compound c's. The simple c's, also called the mono sac char ids, are, in their turn, divided into trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, etc., according to the number of carbon atoms contained. Simple c's are known which contain 3 to 9 carbon atoms. Those containing 5and 6, the pentoses and hexoses, are the most important The hexoses are divided into two groups: those containing a keto group, e. g., fructose, the keto hexoses; and those containing an aldehyd group, e. g., glucose, the aldohexoses. according The compound to the numberc's of are simple cla ifiedc, groups they contain. If they contain two hexose groups, they are called hexobioses, dioses, or disaccharids, e. g., cane sugar or saccharose. If they contain three hexose groups, they are called hexotriose\ or trisaccharids, e. g., raffinose. If they contain more than three hexose groups, they are called hexopolyoses, e. g., starch, cellulose.
