No. Organic compounds are simply compounds that contain bonds between carbon and hydrogen. Simple organic compounds such as methane and ethane occur in the atmospheres of other planets where there is no life, and laboratories have produced more complex organic compounds that do not exist in nature.

∙ 12y agoNo, inorganic compounds are things like dirt, water, plastic, etc.
The word 'organic' implies a carbon base.
Anything without a carbon base is inorganic.

What is the idea that living things from non living things?
Biogenesis is the idea that living things come from other living things.
All living things come from other living things describes what word?
Cells
The theory of biogenesis states that?
Living things come from only other living things
Carbon compounds that come from living organisms are called?
Carbon-containing compounds are generally referred to as organic compounds (from the previously-held, erroneous belief that they could only be formed by living things). However, not all compounds that contain carbon are considered organic. For example, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are considered inorganic, despite the fact that they contain carbon.
Do living things come from living things?
Currently all living things are formed from other living things. However, prior to the formation of life on planet Earth, it is hypothesized the first living organisms were made from non-living materials in a process called abiogenesis.
Substances that contain carbon and come from living things?
It is called organic compounds (made from living organisms, or used to be). It was only in the nineteenth century when organic compounds could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances (gas, rocks, minerals, etc.)
What is defference between organic and inorganic?
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
Is NaCI a organic molecule?
No, salt does not grow. It does not come from living things. It is not organic.
Is NaCi a molecule?
No, salt does not grow. It does not come from living things. It is not organic.
Why are all living things considered organic?
That would be carbon. The definition of an organic molecule or compound is one that contains carbon. Exceptions are for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and a few other carbon molecules by historic convention.
Is the formula for sugar organic or inorganic?
If the formula contains a carbon molecule it is organic. Most things that come from living things i.e. plants or animals, are organic.
Is fire organic?
no, it does not come from living matter
Is organic remains all organic things?
Organic remains comes from animals, foods, etc. Those are examples of Organic remains. So the answer is yes they come from organic things.
Where did all organism come from?
all living things come from other living things
Is Ritalin an organic compound?
From the perspective of organic chemistry, Ritalin contains carbon and is, by definition, an organic compound. It is, however, not an "organic material"; it does not come from a living organism.
Living things come from other living things is called?
spontaneous
What is the teory of biogenesis?
that living things come from other living things
