All living things need energy to survive. The most common source of energy for organisms is glucose molecules, which are used as food. A plant’s food is no exception. Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the process of photosynthesis?

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.
