Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which 2 molecules contains the elements C-H-O and function pertains to energy?
A
Lipids and Protein
B
Carbohydrates and Nucleic Acids
C
Protein and Carbohydrates
D
Carbohydrates and Lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO). Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON ). Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids contain the same elements as carbohydrates: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (C, H, and O).

Detailed explanation-3: -While carbohydrates supply immediate energy for the body, lipids-a class of macromolecule-provide long-term energy storage. Lipids, more commonly known as fats, appear in many foods.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biological macromolecule A large, organic molecule such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates = energy for cells. Carbohydrates are made of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), or CHO, in an approximate ratio of 1:2:1.
