carbohydrate
To identify carbohydrates (and lipids in general besides phospholipids), you can count the number of C, H, and O present in the molecule.
The number of carbons and oxygens should be equal, whereas the number of hydrogens should be double this amount.
You can also identify lipids by looking for the polar "head" and nonpolar "tail"!
