Question

• What type(s) of carbon-based molecules (organic compounds) are the source for most of the energy in the foods you eat..




•Where is energy stored in these molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrates

The answer to this question is yes and no. All of the carbon- based molecules in food store chemical energy in their bonds. Carbohydrates and lipids are the most important energy sources in foods you eat. However, this energy is only usable after these molecules are broken down by a series of chemical reactions.
