What are 3 compounds of carbon that are necessary for living things on earth?
Carbon dioxide, Hydrocarbons, and carbon copies
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
What element do all do all organic compounds have?
Every organic molecule contains carbon atoms.
How Do You characterize the relationship between organic compounds and living things?
Originally the definition of organic compounds was those chemical compounds that could only be made by living things. However as chemists learned ways to make these compounds the definition was changed to complex carbon compounds.
What properties of carbon make it so important for living organisms?
Coal and many organic compounds are formed from carbon.Plants releases carbon dioxide.
What are the carbon compounds that are associated with living things are called?
"organic"
What are compounds made by living things called?
Organic compounds made by living things are called carbon compounds. This is because carbon is required by all living things to function.
Carbon compounds that come from living organisms called?
They are called organic compounds. Every living thing contains carbon, so a carbon compound that comes from a lving thing is considered an organic compound.
Compounds containing carbon found in living things?
Carbon containing compounds found in living things are called organic compounds. Examples of organic compounds are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleotides.
Carbon compounds that come from living organisms are called?
Carbon-containing compounds are generally referred to as organic compounds (from the previously-held, erroneous belief that they could only be formed by living things). However, not all compounds that contain carbon are considered organic. For example, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are considered inorganic, despite the fact that they contain carbon.
Substances that contain carbon and come from living things?
It is called organic compounds (made from living organisms, or used to be). It was only in the nineteenth century when organic compounds could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances (gas, rocks, minerals, etc.)
What kind of compounds contain carbon and associated with living things?
Organis compound. Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotide, and proteins
What are inorganic carbon compounds?
these are carbon compounds not found in living things
What is the basis for all compounds that make up living things?
Living things are based on compounds of carbon.
Compounds associated with living or once living organisms are known as?
organic compounds
What is the Compounds that are built around the element carbon?
Compounds containing the carbon atom are called "organic" compounds. The term "organic" is used because at one time it was believed that carbon occurred only in living matter.
Why are carbon compounds classified as organic compounds?
Many "organic" compounds are created by living tissue, and living things (on Earth, at any rate) always are based on carbon.
