Question 2

Carbohydrates

Answer 2

Made up of Carbon + hydrogen + Oxygen in ratio of 1:2:1

e.j. Glucose (simple sugar) = C6H12O6

Question 3

Answer 3

All proteins Contain Carbon + Hydrogen + Oxygen + Nitrogen

Question 4

Fats (Lipids)

Answer 4

Contain Carbon + Hydrogen + Oxygen

Question 5

What are carbohydrates

Answer 5

long chains of simple sugars. When 2 glucose molecules join together, maltose is formed. When many glucose molecules join they form cellulose, glycogen, and starch. Glucose = Reducing Sugar

Question 6
