Name of one food which does not contain carbon and hydrogen?

Answer 1

All organic substances contain carbon. Actually, carbon forms the basis of life since it is an element which is present in all living cells. Life is not possible without carbon. And yes, the food we eat also contains carbon.

Answer 2

It depends.

It is certainly possible that some artificial stuff would not contain carbon. However, every natural thing we take from the surface of our planet contains carbon. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen are the main elemental constituents of life.

It is hypothesized that either ribonucleic acids or proteins had sparked the beginning of life. Both are filled with carbon and, through evolution, we maintained the code in our bodies which is written with carbon and other stuff. Our cells are filled with enormous carbon compounds which we call as organic compounds.

Carbon is simply everywhere. The apple which you eat contains a stupefyingly large number of atoms. The number of atoms in an apple is about the same as the number of apples that would fill our planet. You cannot not expect carbon to be all over the place in such enormously complex stuff.

Answer 3

'Food' means it will supply your body's needs - we usually mean energy, which has to be a molecule we can respire, which means it needs to be a sugar or a starch, and that must contain carbon and hydrogen. Proteins also count as food as you use them for making your own proteins, like muscle. These are also based on carbon. You could extend the idea of food to include minerals that you need day-to-day, like calcium or magnesium. So salt would fit what you are asking for - sodium chloride. But most people wouldn't really call this food.

Answer 4

Salt does not contain carbon and hydrogen.
