that molecule is called chromosome, they store information for future replication

What is a an organic compound?
An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below, a few types of compounds such as carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon, are considered inorganic. The division between "organic" and "inorganic" carbon compounds while "useful in organizing the vast subject of chemistry...is somewhat arbitrary".[1]Organic chemistry is the science concerned with all aspects of organic compounds. Organic synthesis is the methodology of their preparation.
8 A plant body such as a redwood tree is a very large mass of carbon compounds-where does all this carbon come from?
From CO2 in the atmosphere which is fixed into organic matter in photosynthesis.
What is the exact number of organic compounds?
Theoretically infinite, since it's always possible to add another methyl to a hydrocarbon. In practice there isn't an infinite amount of carbon in the universe, so the number of possible organic compounds is merely extremely large. To give you some idea of how large, there are 4,111,846,763 possible structural isomers of C30H62, an insignificantly small (in terms of the total amount of carbon in the universe) compound. That's without taking stereochemistry into account, and once we start adding functional groups, the numbers get even bigger. In either case, it's big enough that the notion of an exact number is ludicrous. approx it is about six million..
The theory that a large complex system such as the human body can be understood by simpler components is called?
darwinism
What is the role of carbon in all organisms?
It is due to a number of reasons. Carbon being small in size and having tetravalency makes more no. of bonds than any other element. The branch of organic chemistry is made only due to large no. of compounds having carbon-hydrogen bond. All the biomolecules are organic compounds and any organic compound contains carbon.From an enzyme released your brain to any pancreatic juice, all contain carbon bonds. For example, take proteins. They are made up of amino acids which are further made up from carbon and nitrogen. If you look at glucose, sucrose, vitamins etc., all these are carbon containing molecules. So, it is right to say that carbon is the centre of chemistry of living organisms.
What are complex compounds that contain carbon named?
The general name we give carbon-containing complex compounds is organic compounds, and there are literally tens of millions of them. In organic chemistry, we unlock the secrets of these amazing substances. To say that the field is large is an understatement. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
What are large complex compounds that store information in the form of a code?
nucleic acids
Large organic compounds made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen?
organic compounds
All organic compounds contain carbon?
All organic compounds DO in fact contain carbon.Carbon has the right characteristics to support large chains, including rings, that are necessary for these organic compounds.
Is carbon organic?
Carbon is a non-metallic element, exhibiting several isotopes and allotropes. However, there is a very large branch of Chemistry researching into the chemistry of carbon containing compounds, These compounds are referred to as organic compounds, and organic chemistry.
Is protein is it a organic or inorganic compound?
No. Proteins are organic by definition since all carbon containing substances are called "organic". Proteins are very complex carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen-oxygen containing compounds with other elements as well depending on the particular protein.
Complex compounds that store large amounts of energy?
fats
Organic compounds have?
All organic compounds contain the element carbon.
What are organic compounds that store and release large amounts of energy?
Lipids
What are the types of organic compounds that store and release large amounts of energy?
the answer is lipids
What is a biosynthesis?
A biosynthesis is a process of synthesis of organic compounds within a living organism, especially the synthesis of large compounds from small ones.
What are compounds found in nature?
That can't be answered in this small text box, there are countless. The atoms are all in the Periodic Table, and there are many rules and exceptions as to how they combine and how they don't. You should study chemistry. Especially carbon (and silicium) are able to form the basis for very large and complex compounds, which is the field of organic chemistry and a large part of your body (carbon that is).
