You don't have just two carbons, but its backbone of carbons is just two carbons.

Carbonate rocks are a class of sedimentary rocks composed primarily of carbonate minerals.

I now have six carbons.

So how many carbons do we have?

I can draw the carbons here.

I have nine carbons.

The heart of the bicarbonate belt.

But I have six carbons.

So this will be seven carbons.

Which accounts for all of the carbons.

So the six carbons, after cellular respiration, end up with six oxidized carbons, with plus four oxidation states.

It's bonded with two carbons.

So four of these carbons are neutral.

Well, how many carbons do we have here?

Again, the carbons are cleaved off.

Of course I've got bicarb.

One, two, three, four, five, six carbons.

Well, we have one, two, three carbons on it.

so it literally takes it from a 6 carbon

The oct tells you that you have eight carbons.

And now it has its carbons bonding more strongly with oxygen.

On the left hand side of the equation, we have six carbons.

But notice, this has five carbons on it.

But this cycle, it doesn't just generate carbons.

Well, we have one, two, three, four, five, six carbons.

We have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 carbons.

I have one, two, three, four, five carbons in a chain.

You get rid of three carbons for every turn of this.

And you might be saying, when these carbons are cleaved off,

And actually, for every molecule of glucose you have six carbons.

But I'm just going to draw it as six carbons in a row.

The prefix for two carbons is eth , so this is an ethyl group.

So this is just how many carbons are in our longest chain.

So it's one, two, three, four, five carbons and it forms a ring.

So far we've dealt with simple chains and rings of carbons.

So we have seven carbons, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

There's obviously a lot of other stuff going on in the carbons.

And essentially what it does is it cleaves one of these carbons off of the pyruvate.

But really, for the steps after glycolysis you get rid of three carbons.

Margo, you by any chance haven't got any bicarbonate of soda in the house?

So if we have two carbons, we're dealing with an ethyl group.

As the concentration of carbonate increases, calcium carbonate precipitates as the salt Ca2 CO32 CaCO3.

So this decane sorry, this backbone has ten carbons in it.

So just to clarify things, it's sec because we're attached to two carbons right there.

So I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine carbons.
