Do all macromolecules contain carbon and hydrogen?
M VOLVO Page 3 The four main classes of organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning of all living things are known as polymers or macromolecules. All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios.
Which macromolecule is composed of C H O?
Comparing the Biological Macromolecules
| Macromolecule | Basic Formula, key features | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Lipids | C:H:O Greater than 2:1 H:O (carboxyl group) | Energy storage; Protection; Chemical messengers; Repel water |
| Carbohydrates | C:H:O 1:2:1 | Energy storage; Structure |
| Nucleic Acids | CHONP pentose, nitrogenous base, phosphate | Genetic information |
What molecule contains carbon, hydrogen?
Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are organic molecules consisting entirely of carbon and hydrogen.
Which of the following biomolecules only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO).
What macromolecules contain carbon?
Carbon is the primary component of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
Which of the following metabolic compounds is composed of only carbon oxygen and hydrogen?
carbohydrates
In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units (monomers) are called monosaccharides. Carbohydrates contain only carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). A monosaccharide or simple sugar, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2:1.
Which macromolecule is carbon?
All living things contain carbon in some form. Carbon is the primary component of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
When molecules are only composed carbon C and hydrogen H it is considered as?
A hydrocarbon is any of a class of organic chemicals made up of only the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H).
Which compound contains only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
carbohydrate
Explanation: A carbohydrate has only Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, with the hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 2:1. A protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids have an amino group which is −NH2 .
Are biomolecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen?
A biomolecule is a chemical compound found in living organisms. These include chemicals that are composed of mainly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus. Biomolecules are the building blocks of life and perform important functions in living organisms.
What is a molecule containing only carbon and hydrogen called?
A hydrocarbon molecule contains only carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons are further divided into several structural types called, alkanes, alkenes , alkynes and aromatics. The first three types are presented in this chapter, and aromatics are presented in a later chapter.
What organic molecule contains carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbohydrates are organic molecules that consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are made up of repeating units called saccharides. They provide cells with energy, store energy, and form structural tissues. Lipids are organic compounds that consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What is the compound that contains carbon and hydrogen atoms?
Olefin, also called alkene, compound made up of hydrogen and carbon that contains one or more pairs of carbon atoms linked by a double bond. Olefins are examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons (compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon and at least one double or triple bond).
What contains only carbon, oxygen and hydrogen?
Organic compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are called carbohydrates. Glycerol is an example of a simple lipid. Its chemical formula is C 3H 😯 3, and it has a chain of three carbon atoms with an oxygen atom bonded to each one.
