Answer:

Why is less ATP obtained from the average carbon in a sugar molecule than from carbon in a fat molecule? The correct answer is not given. The sugar carbons require more water weight during cellular storage. The carbons in fatty acids are a more oxidized form of carbon than those in sugars.
