Question

This is a compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms; it is used by cells to store and release energy. Sugars are made by chloroplasts through photosynthesis and consumed by mitochondria through cell respiration

Answer 1

This description corresponds to a glucose molecule whose chemical composition is carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, its chemical formula is C6H1206. It is a carbohydrate or sugar product of photosynthesis, it is a molecule that gives energy to plants and is used by mitochondria in cellular respiration. Glucose by binding to other glucoses and oxygen forms other macromolecules such as starch, which is a storage molecule. when assembled with other molecules sucrose form.

Answer 2

The compound described above would be a sugar. Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In cells, it is used and produced in order to store and release energy. The most common sugar used in cells is glucose. It has a formula of C6H12O6.
