An example of this form of molecule is the monosaccharide glucose, which like all hexose monosaccharides has the formula C6H12O6. It is stored in plant cells as the polysaccharide starch, whereas in animal cells it is stored as glycogen.

protein
How does the rotting of food produce carbon dioxide?
Rotting food or other organics only produces carbon dioxide under aerobic (lots of oxygen) conditions. Under anaerobic conditions (little or no oxygen) the organisms decomposing the organics produce methane. Due to the other compounds i the organics the decomposition may also release sulfidic compounds. In any of these cases the microbial life absorbs a carbon compound and oxidizes it using whatever oxdent is handy o produce energy for itself and an oxidized carbon compound and water.
Why is hydrogen gas not found naturally in the air?
Hydrogen gas would react with oxgyen and release energy. The lighter hydrogen gas would float to the top of the atmosphere; above the heavier nitrogen and oxygen.
Do we burn fossil fuels to get energy?
Yes we do because fossil fuels contain carbon and hydrogen, which both burn with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce heat which is used to drive an engine. The heat comes from the formation of chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen, and between hydrogen and oxygen. The carbon dioxide produced is output into the atmosphere in much the same way as sewage used to to be output to run down the gutter in towns 200 years ago.
Air conditioner releases how much carbon?
The air conditioner itself does not release any carbon or carbon dioxide. But if the energy to power the air conditioner comes from a coal fired power plant, it takes more energy to reduce the temperature of a room than it does to heat it.
What is an important energy-storing compound that contains only the elements carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Carbohydrates :)
What word is an insoluble compound that stores energy and is a component in cell membranes and is composed of mostly carbon and hydrogen?

A molecule of an organic compound has twice as many hydrogen atoms as carbon atoms and the same of oxygen atoms as carbon atoms The molecular mass of this compound is 120u What is the MolecularFormula?
A macromolecule made up of mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms that is primarily used for energy storage and in cell membranes.
What organic compounds are produced when materials containing carbon and hydrogen are burned?
Hydrocarbon is an organic compound which is entirely made up of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are the main source of the world’s electric energy and heat because of the energy produced when they are burned.
Is octane an element a compound a mixture or not matter?
Octane is a compound. octane + O2 = CO2 + H2O + Energy, You can tell by the inputs and outputs. Octane and Oxygen inputs and Carbon dioxide and water outputs, means Octane must consist of hydrogen H and carbon C, thus a compound not an element.
Is glucose an element mixture or compound?
Glucose is a compound. Oxygen, carbon and hydrogen are individual elements that create glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is important source of energy for living organisms.
How are the organic compounds in living things different from one another?
A carbohydrate is an energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Like carbohydrates, lipids are energy-rich organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Lipids contain even more energy than carbohydrates. Proteins are large organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and, in some cases, sulfur. Nucleic acids are very long organic molecules made of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
What is an energy rich organic compound that is made from the elements carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
Any carbohydrate will answer the question. Examples include glucose, sucrose, glycogen, starch, etc. etc.
What are the three differences between hydrogen and carbon dioxide?
Hydrogen is an element, single atom (H) Carbon dioxide is a compound of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (CO2) Hydrogen has only one electron in its valance shell but 'wants' to have two so it will often form covalent bonds with another element or compound that also 'wants' to gain an electron. Hydrogen will even bond to another hydrogen atom producing H2 therefore it is called a diatomic element. Carbon dioxide is a stable compound that will not usually react with other chemicals unless energy is added. Hydrogen is considered an indirect greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is considered the most prominent greenhouse gas, mostly due to its abundance.
