What properties make organic compounds useful in living systems?
who cares it is a carbon compound that is all any dumb scientist knows
What type of organic compounds show UV absorption bands?
Aromatic compounds, conjugated dienes, and compounds with extensive pi-electron systems often show UV absorption bands. These compounds have delocalized electrons that can undergo electronic transitions when exposed to ultraviolet light, leading to absorption of UV radiation.
Organic systems are characterized by?
D
Analysis of organic compounds based on uv spectra?
Spectroscopy in the UV and visible wavelengths is used primarily to measure the electronic absorptions by conjugated electronic systems in organic compounds. However, many metals and salts can also absorb to some degree in the UV and visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (consider that visible spectroscopy is especially common in mineral spectroscopy, for example, to measure the color and spectral qualities of diamonds in jewelry). So, while UV-vis spectroscopy is used overwhelmingly for organic compounds, it can also be used for measurement of inorganic compounds.
Why are ionic compounds not commonly found in living systems?
Ionic compounds are found very frequently in living systems. All of the salt, buffers, blood, etc. contain ionic compounds such as NaCl, KCl, Na3PO4, CaCl2, MgSO4, and on and on.
What body systems are effected when you exercise?
Muscular, skeletal, nervous and cardiovascular systems directly and endocrine system indirectly.
Is every molecule in a living system an organic compound?
"Not every molecule in a living system is an organic compound." This statement is correct according to the definition of organic compounds as compounds containing carbon. For instance, water is a major component of living systems but is not "organic".
What are common elements found in organic compounds?
The most common elements found in organic compounds are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. In living systems, the most abundant elements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Do all eco systems depend on the sun?
All known life depends upon the sun for energy, whether directly or indirectly.

Differentiate between the chemical definition and popular definition of the term organic?
Organic in chemistry refers to carbon compounds. It was originally thought that only living systems produced such compounds. The term as related to crop production means roughly the rejection of certain technology.
What type of organic compounds show UV absorption bands?
Aromatic compounds, conjugated dienes, and compounds with extensive pi-electron systems often show UV absorption bands. These compounds have delocalized electrons that can undergo electronic transitions when exposed to ultraviolet light, leading to absorption of UV radiation.
How do you use ''organic matter'' in a sentence?
Inorganic compounds are those which are not found in living systems. Silicon is an inorganic compound.
Are most organic acid strong or weak?
Other groups can also confer acidity, usually weakly: the thiol group -SH, the enol group, and the phenol group. In biological systems, organic compounds containing these groups are generally referred to as organic acids.
Distinguish between inorganic and organic chemistry?
Physical chemistry Organic chemistry physical properties of elements involve C,O,and H eg, thermodynamic eg, aliphatic compound focus more on calculation focus more on reaction
What has the author L W Lion written?
L. W. Lion has written: 'Partitioning equilibria of volatile pollutants in three-phase systems' -- subject(s): Organic compounds, Pollution, Biodegradation, Groundwater, Organic solvents
What body system is affected when your ACL is torn?
Directly, your skeletal system is affected since the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), being a ligament, connects the Femur to the Tibia. Indirectly, the affected systems would be: muscular, nervous, and integumentary systems.
