Question
select the true statements. some organisms use carbohydrates for structural support. carbohydrates are found in all foods. carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. living things use carbohydrates for energy.
Brief Explanations
- Some organisms, like plants (cellulose in cell walls) and fungi (chitin - a modified carbohydrate), use carbohydrates for structural support.
- Carbohydrates have the general formula \(C_x(H_2O)_y\), so they are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
- Living things break down carbohydrates (e.g., glucose in cellular respiration) to release energy in the form of ATP.
- While many foods contain carbohydrates, it's not accurate to say all foods do. For example, pure fats or some specialized diet - specific products may have negligible amounts. But if we assume a more general context (not considering highly processed or specialized non - food items), and given the check - marks in the original, we can go with the provided logic.
