In a lipid, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is ____
|
|
Greater than 2:1
|
|
|
2:1
|
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In lipids, the components are the same but the ratio is less for oxygen, so it is 1:2: less than one for C:H:O.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids are organic compounds that contain the same elements as carbohydrates: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. However, the hydrogen-to-oxygen ratio is always greater than 2:1.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the ratio of Hydrogen and Oxygen in sugar is 2:1.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are made of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), or CHO, in an approximate ratio of 1:2:1. All sugars are carbohydrates.
