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).
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.
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.
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.
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
The four main sources are Petroleum, bituminous (soft) coal, natural gas and plants & animals.
animals
plants
fossils fuel
microbes
earth
Organic compounds are found nearly everywhere. Organic compounds are especially present in plant matter, and soil. Bacteria also contains organic compounds.
Charcoal and petroleum
Tyanna
Crude oil
Yes many archea are heterotrophs certainly chemoorganoheterotrophs which use organic carbon as carbon source, energy source and, electron source.
No because heterotrophic organism require an organic carbon source.
An organic molecule is a molecule based around carbon
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.
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions)
Photoauthotroph Energy source: Sunlight Carbon source: CO2 Chemoautotroph Energy source: Inorganic materials Carbon source: CO2 Photoheterotroph Energy source: Sunlight Carbon source: Organic compounds Chemoheterotrop Energy source: Organic compounds Carbon source: Organic compounds
Prokaryotes can be classified into four nutritional modes based on how they obtain energy and carbon sources. Photoautotrophs use light as an energy source and carbon dioxide as a carbon source. Chemoautotrophs use inorganic compounds for energy and carbon. Photoheterotrophs use light for energy and organic compounds for carbon, while chemoheterotrophs rely on organic compounds for both energy and carbon.
Photoheterotrophs use organic compounds as their carbon source; photoautotrophs use carbon dioxide as their carbon source.
Answer: A Photoheterotroph Feedback: *Energy source: -Phototroph: uses light -Chemotroph: uses redox reactions from an organic or inorganic compound *Carbon source: -Autotroph: uses CO2 -Heterotroph: uses an organic source of carbon
Answer: A Photoheterotroph Feedback: *Energy source: -Phototroph: uses light -Chemotroph: uses redox reactions from an organic or inorganic compound *Carbon source: -Autotroph: uses CO2 -Heterotroph: uses an organic source of carbon
Yes many archea are heterotrophs certainly chemoorganoheterotrophs which use organic carbon as carbon source, energy source and, electron source.
From a chemistry point of view, organic compounds are carbon compounds and organic chemistry is the study of carbon and its derivatives. But from a biological aspect, organic compounds are those that are obtained from plants or animals.
(1) In photosynthetic organisms (e.g. plants), the carbon source for glucose synthesis is atmospheric CO2.(2) In mammals the carbon source for glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) includes organic compounds such as pyruvate and glycerol. It should be noted, however, that the ultimate carbon source for all organic compounds in heterotrophs (such as mammals) is atmospheric CO2.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the main source of carbon. Green plants store this carbon during the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide supplies the carbon needed for all the organic matter.
The main source of living things is the break down of carbon. Carbon is essential to life. It is at the base of every organic compound.
Glucose (dextrose) is the most utilizable carbon source.
