One molecule of glucose yields ~ 38 ATP, so sugar has much more energy tied up in its bonds than one ATP.
A single molecule energy of the sugar glucose stores more than 90 times the chemical energy of a molecule of ATP.
Every single organic molecule contains two or more atoms.
An aminosaccharide is a type of molecule that contains both amino and saccharide (sugar) groups. It is made up of a sugar molecule with one or more amino acid groups attached to it. A common example of an aminosaccharide is glucosamine, which is an important component of cartilage in the body.
A molecule contains more than one atom.
Sugar is an organic molecule because it contains carbon atoms. More rigorously, it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds.
A molecule of polysaccharide is made up of many sugars, or sacchride units. so a polysacchiride has more energy, because it has more sugars than a sugar alone.
It contains sugar.

Every single organic molecule contains two or more atoms.
An organic molecule is a molecule and that contains carbon atoms that are connected to hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Glucose has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms so it is organic.
A molecule contains more than one atom.
A compound is a molecule that contains at lest two different elements. A compound is a molecule because it also contains two or more different atoms.
RNA is a single stranded molecule while DNA is a double stranded molecule. RNA contains the sugar ribose while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second carbon in the ring.
