The basic answer regarding the difference between organic and inorganic molecules is carbon. Carbon is the key to organic molecules. Yes, there are a few carbon compounds that may be considered inorganic, but it is the carbon that is the key to the differences. Carbon compounds number in the millions.
Carbon-dioxide and water (inorganic) are converted into cf. sugar (organic) by fotosynthesis (plant growth in sunlight) and also frees a lot of oxygen
6 CO2 + 6 H2O ==> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Any molecule that contains Carbon-hydrogen bonds is an organic molecule.
Organic molecules all contain Carbon (most also contain Hydrogen, Oxygen and to a lesser extent Nitrogen).
if a compound is organic then it must have carbon in it because carbon is organic, so if the compound does not have carbon than it is not organic
When it contains carbon and hydrogen, likely among other elements
Carbon-Hydrogen bonds!
No, it's not organic (an organic molecule has to contain carbon.)
yes glucose is an organic molecule
An organic molecule is a molecule which contains the element carbon. An inorganic molecule is the opposite. Almost all of the molecules that are inside the human body would be classified as organic molecules.
An organic molecule is a molecule based around carbon
the type of organic molecule an enzyme is would be a protien
No, it is an element.
Carbon.
As long as there is carbon in the molecule, the molecule is considered organic.
They are: Cardon and Hydrogen.
Carbon and hydrogen together indicate that a substance is organic.
They contain carbon, and usually hydrogen. For example, CO2 is not organic, but CH4 is organic.
carbohydrates can be known as organic molecules as they have carbon as a central element
Carbon and hydrogen.
This element is carbon.
The term "Organic" refers to something that is or was living. The elements have never been living, nor will they ever be in the future. Elements might be part of a compound that is located in living things. Added: Na, sodium, is an element and inorganic. Organic compounds are based on carbon hydrogen bonding and have nothing to do with living, per se. CH4, methane, is an organic molecule. One element standing alone can not be an organic molecule and just because something contains carbon (CO2--not organic ) does not make it an organic molecule. C-H is required.
No, an eyeball is not a molecule. But the organic substance that makes up our bodies, including eyes, is composed of molecules.
In every molecule of an organic compound, the principal atoms are the carbon atoms inside it.
