(D) Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones with the general formula $(CH_2O)_n$,where the ratio of $C:H:O$ is $1:2:1$. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats,oils,and waxes. In lipids,the proportion of oxygen atoms is significantly lower compared to the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This low oxygen content makes lipids more reduced than carbohydrates,allowing them to store more energy per unit mass.
