Among the options you provided, substances that contain carbon are primarily carbon dioxide and sugar molecules. Here's a brief overview:
1. **Carbon Dioxide (CO2)**: This molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. It contains carbon, which is essential for the formation of other organic compounds.
2. **Sugar Molecules**: Sugars (such as glucose) are organic compounds made predominantly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are energy sources and building blocks for other organic molecules.
Oxygen (O2) and water (H2O) do not contain carbon. While oxygen is essential for combustion and many biochemical processes, it does not contribute carbon to substances. Similarly, water is vital for life but does not contain carbon.
