Question

question 2 (mandatory) (2 points)
a __________ is an organic molecule that consists of c, h, o atoms in a ratio of 1:2:1.
a) carbohydrate
b) protein

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules with the general formula \(C_nH_{2n}O_n\), which gives a \(C:H:O\) ratio of \(1:2:1\). Proteins, on the other hand, contain nitrogen in addition to \(C\), \(H\), and \(O\) and do not have a fixed \(C:H:O\) ratio of \(1:2:1\).

Answer:

A. carbohydrate
