Why does the equation using fat require more oxygen molecules than the equation using sugar?
A. a molecule of sugar has more hydrogen in it than a molecule of fat; therefore, the equation for sugar needs fewer oxygen molecules than the equation for fat to balance the equation.
B. a molecule of sugar has more carbon than a molecule of fat; therefore, the equation for sugar needs more oxygen molecules than the equation for fat to balance the equation.
C. a molecule of sugar has less oxygen in it than a molecule of fat; therefore, the equation for sugar needs fewer oxygen molecules than the equation for fat to balance the equation.
D. a molecule of sugar has more oxygen in it than a molecule of fat; therefore, the equation for sugar needs fewer oxygen molecules than the equation for fat to balance the equation.
