Answer:

Carbon is most abundant in the atmosphere and hydrosphere.

Explanation:

In the atmosphere, carbon is mostly present in the gaseous state of carbon dioxide. Plants absorb atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis and prepare food which is used by other living organisms. Respiration by plants and animals returns carbon back to atmosphere. Next to atmosphere, carbon is abundant in the hydrosphere dissolved in water. Aquatic plants and marine organisms absorb carbon dissolved in water to prepare food. This carbon is also used to produce shells and other marine structures. Carbon is also present in lithosphere and biosphere.

Which of the following biomolecules is best represented by this formula?

Alona [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "lipid".

Explanation:

Lipids, known also as fats or oils, are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The formula of this question shows a biomolecule that is made up of this three atoms, and even though carbohydrate are made up of this three atoms as well, we can determine that it belongs to a lipid because it contains many more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Other characteristic of lipids is their long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are represented by the lines shown in blue. I attached the missing formula.
