how atoms make up organic compounds, which make up all living organisms, addressing all three domains.
yes
No, not all organisms use organic compounds for energy. Some organisms, such as certain bacteria, are capable of using inorganic compounds like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia as an energy source through a process called chemosynthesis. These organisms do not rely on organic compounds for their energy needs.
Approximately 95% of all known compounds are organic. Organic compounds are based on carbon and are commonly found in living organisms.
The main source of organic compounds is living organisms, such as plants and animals. These organisms synthesize organic compounds through processes like photosynthesis or digestion of organic matter. Organic compounds are essential for life as they form the basis of biological molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Organic Compounds
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.
organic compounds are substances that have carbon in them. inorganic compounds don't.
A chemotroph makes organic compounds from inorganic compounds.
Carbon can be found in both inorganic and organic compounds. Inorganic compounds, such as carbonates and CO2, contain carbon but are not derived from living organisms. Organic compounds, on the other hand, contain carbon bonded to hydrogen and are typically derived from living organisms.
Heterotroph
until the discovery of urea, in 1828, by Friedrich Wohler, chemists divided compounds that were producible and compounds that were only made by organisms. the compounds that were made by organisms were known as organic compounds. urea, being a reaction that happens in your liver, was a organic compound. by accident, Friedrich had synthesized an organic compound.
