Animal fats and plant oils are sometimes used as sources of fuel for automobile engines. How is energy harvested from these molecules?
They contain multiple phosphate groups that each release energy when "liberated" from the
molecule chemically.
They contain long hydrophobic regions that, when mixed with water, generate explosions.
They contain long carbon tails and each atom has unpaired electrons that are released upon
exposure to extreme heat and pressure.
They contain long chains of hydrocarbons that, when broken, release the energy stored in the
bonds linking the atoms together.
They contain hydrocarbon tails linked by disulfide bridges that, when broken, release chemical
energy
