What solvent does not dissolve ionic compounds?

Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.


Is a mollusk a heterotroph?

Heterotrophic because it needs to ingest other organisms to produce the necessary organic compounds for life functions. Autotrophs can make their own organic compounds from inorganic compounds which mollusk, such as squids, cannot do.


What element is present in organic compound but cannot be found in inorganic compounds?

Carbon. That is why organic chemistry is often called carbon chemistry.


Why aren't humans producers?

Humans aren't producers indeed, they are consumers. They cannot synthesize the organic compounds they need to survive (unlike, for example, plants, that can synthesize their own organic compounds thanks to photosynthesis). Consumers don't have the ability to make organic compounds from inorganic compounds, so they rely, directly or indirectly, on the ability of producers to do that.


What is an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials?

Why organic chemistry is so important to study of biology?

Organic Chemistry is important because most reactions in Biology are organic reactions. Organic Chemistry is the study of structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds. Biology is the study of biological organisms and processes. All biological organisms and processes are created, maintained and changed through chemical processes and are made up of chemical compounds. Without an understanding organic chemistry one cannot accurately and fully understand biology.


Why the melting point of candle wax cannot be too high?

Candles contain organic compounds with low melting points.


Is a barnacle an herbivore carnivore or producer?

Heterotrophic because it needs to ingest other organisms to produce the necessary organic compounds for life functions. Autotrophs can make their own organic compounds from inorganic compounds which mollusk, such as squids, cannot do.


Is a paramecium heterotrophic?

Yes, Paramecium is heterotrophic.It has no chlorophyll or other means of synthesizing organic matter, such as glucose, from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water. So it cannot be autotrophic.It must obtain organic compounds from other organisms, and is therefore heterotrophic.


How do you recognize an organic compound?

All organic compounds contain carbon.
