Danny Ayala · Answer 1

The correct answer option is 3. they make up larger compounds like fats and amino acids.

Explanation:

A carbohydrate is a biological molecule that consists of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms.

It is one of the 4 main macro-molecules in cells that are made largely from Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Therefore, option 3. 'they make up larger compounds like fats and amino acids' is incorrect.
