- Carbon is the backbone of organic molecules in all life forms on Earth
Carbohydrates and Lipids Comparison
-
Similarities (Overlap in Venn Diagram):
- Both contain Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (CHO)
- Both are used for energy storage
-
Carbohydrates (Left Circle):
- 1:2:1 Carbon-to-Hydrogen-to-Oxygen ratio
- Polar molecules
