Very, very many. Amylopectine is a carbohydrate polymere made of glucose (C6H12O6) units:
(n+1) C6H12O6 --> (C6H10O5)n(C6H12O6) + n H2O (with n >> 1000)
So, depending on 'n' there are 6*(n+1) Carbon atoms in it, relatively 40% by number, about 7.5% by mass.
pentane has five carbons

five
C6H12O6This, though isomeric, is the formula for glucose. As you see there are 6 carbons in the glucose structure
No carbons are left, all are lost as CO2.
6 carbons 6 carbons
5 carbons
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
G3P is a 3 carbons sugar.
butane has four carbons
pentane has five carbons
there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
Cholesterol all in all have 27 carbons.
The molecular formula is C5 H6 O5 so it it has 5 carbons.
Sugar's carbons are arranged in a ring. These rings of carbon are sometimes arranged straight chains (cellulose) or branched (glycogen or amylopectin).

Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
