Can you swap one for the other?

No. Grape and carrot are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

More than half of carrot's flavor molecules (294 of 390) also occur in grape. Among the shared key aromas are 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine (green bell pepper, earthy) and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (green bell pepper, earthy). Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
