Propane is CH3-CH2-CH3. There are six primary carbons and two secondary carbons (CH2) in propane.

pentane has five carbons
There are four carbons in a molecule of malate at the end of the Krebs cycle.
C6H12O6This, though isomeric, is the formula for glucose. As you see there are 6 carbons in the glucose structure
Propane is CH3-CH2-CH3. There are six primary carbons and two secondary carbons (CH2) in propane.
Tertiary carbons are carbons that are directly bonded to three other carbon atoms in a molecule. They are typically more sterically hindered and less reactive compared to primary or secondary carbons due to the presence of three alkyl groups.

there are 4 carbons in oxaloacetic acid
Cholesterol all in all have 27 carbons.
butane has four carbons
In order to be a secondary alcohol, the carbon with the alcohol moiety must be bonded to two other carbons. There are only two carbons total in ethanol, so it cannot possibly be a secondary alcohol. The smallest/lowest molecular weight secondary alcohol is cyclopropanol, which has three carbons: one for the alcohol group, and two others for it to be bonded to.
The answer is 4
Pyruvic acid is C3H4O3 and has 3 carbon atoms.
