What is a source of organic carbon?

Answer 1

Basically, there are three accepted sources of organic compounds:
1. carbonized organic matter
2. living organisms
3. invention/human ingenuity

Source (see Related Link below).

Answer 2

Plant material, such as leaves, wood, and grass, is a common source of organic carbon. When plants decompose, they release organic compounds into the soil, providing fuel for microorganisms to break down and recycle nutrients. These organic compounds contribute to the soil's carbon content and support the growth of other organisms in the ecosystem.

Answer 3

There are literally millions of organic compounds, and, in general, the are synthesized naturally by living organisms. It is possible to put together organic compounds in the laboratory, and we can do quite a bit of that, too. The general nature of the question means we can only provide a general answer.

Answer 4

Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of carbon-based compounds, hydrocarbons, and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus,silicon, and sulfur.[1][2][3]

Organic compounds form the basis of almost all earthly life processes (with very few exceptions). They are structurally diverse. The range of application of organic compounds is enormous. They either form the basis of, or are important constituents of, many products including plastics, drugs,petrochemicals, food, explosives, and paints.

Answer 5

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, these are all made up of very dead creatures from yonks ago. Burning plant material will release the carbon stored inside it from photosynthesis too.

Answer 6

Organic compounds are any compound containing carbon. They are found nearly everywhere, and a list of some appears below.

Found In the body: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids (DNA)

Found in medicine: pharmaceutics

Answer 7

The four main sources are Petroleum, bituminous (soft) coal, natural gas and plants & animals.
animals

plants

fossils fuel

microbes

earth

Answer 8

Organic compounds are found nearly everywhere. Organic compounds are especially present in plant matter, and soil. Bacteria also contains organic compounds.

Answer 9

Charcoal and petroleum
