Which of the following statements best explains how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and other large carbon-based molecules?(1 point)
Responses:
-Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen cannot form bonds with other atoms, and therefore cannot combine into larger molecules.
-Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen can form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine into larger molecules.
-Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen can change phases from gas to liquid, allowing them to combine into larger molecules.
-Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen can form a mixture, allowing them to combine into larger molecules.
The correct answer is:
-Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen can form bonds with other atoms, allowing them to combine into larger molecules.
