Question

the chemical formula for the major component of palm kernel oil is ch₃(ch₂)₁₄co₂h. the chemical formula for the carbohydrate glucose is c₆h₁₂o₆.which statement best describes these macromolecules as foods?glucose is the only one that would provide energy to living things because it is a key product of respiration.palm kernel oil would provide more energy than glucose because it contains more carbon bonds, which release energy when broken.palm kernel oil would provide a quicker energy source than glucose because it has more carbon atoms that can be used.glucose is a better energy source because it is the only one that can be broken down by living things.

Explanation:

Lipids (such as palm kernel oil) have more carbon - hydrogen bonds compared to carbohydrates (like glucose). When these bonds are broken during metabolism, more energy is released. Glucose is also an energy source, but per unit mass, lipids generally provide more energy.

Answer:

Palm kernel oil would provide more energy than glucose because it contains more carbon bonds, which release energy when broken.
