The diagram shows the structure of glucose, a molecule that organisms make and use.
The structural formula of glucose, C6H1206, shows a ring of 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Four carbons in the ring are each bonded to an -H and an -OH group. The fifth carbon is bonded to a CH2OH group.
The structure of glucose illustrates which of the following properties of carbon?
A. Carbon can form bonds with several other elements.
B. A carbon atom can bond with up to five other atoms.
C. Carbon atoms can bond only with oxygen.
D. Carbon can form bonds with only hydrogen.
E. Carbon atoms can form rings of hexagons only.
