Is H O an organic molecule?
H2O (water) is an inorganic compound; it was not created by living organisms nor first found in them. Water is a simple molecule; organic molecules are much more complex (such as lipids or carbohydrates, for example) and are created by living organisms. Also, organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen.
Why are organic compounds called organic compounds?
because it was once believed that such compounds could not be synthesized in a lab but could only be produced in living things/organisms because of some "supernatural essence" unique to themorganic compounds are very complex carbon compounds
Does The rocks and minerals of the Earth consist of organic compounds?
No, rocks and minerals do not typically consist of organic compounds. Rocks are composed of different combinations of minerals, which are inorganic substances. Organic compounds, on the other hand, are compounds that contain carbon and are typically derived from living organisms.
Is organic compounds are found in living organisms?
Not necessarily. Many organic compounds are found in living organisms, but not all of them. nore are all the compounds in an organism organic. Any compound that contains bonds between carbon and hydrogen is classified as organic, whether or not it is of a biological origin.
What compounds produced by living organisms that contain the element carbon?
No living organism contains carbon on earth because "earthlings" consist of H20, but maybe on another planet. . .

How do organisms differ from non-living things?

What are the primary characteristics used to identify a compound as a carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with a ratio of hydrogen twice that of carbon and oxygen. Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, cellulose and many other compounds found in living organisms. .thanks tohttp://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/carbohydrates.htmlfor this info

are living organisms made up of only organic compounds?
Living things are composed primarily of organic compounds but the organic compounds also have lots of hydrogen and oxygen with small amounts of other inorganic elements sulfur, copper, magnesium, etc.
What do biome's consist of?
Living organisms and the environment in which they live.
What is the role of hydrogen in living organisms?
Oxygen burns hydrogen in the living system, releasing the energy that runs living beings.
