Why are organic compounds highly combustible?
Organic compounds are highly combustible because they contain carbon and hydrogen atoms, which have high energy bonds that can release a large amount of energy when broken during combustion. Additionally, organic compounds often have low ignition temperatures, making them more prone to catching fire.
Does all organisms use organic compounds for energy?
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.
Organic compounds that store and transfer energy are what?
The form of potential energy that organic compounds hold is called fuel. On burning these compounds, the heat can be converted into other forms of energy.
How is energy transformed during the carbon cycle?
In the carbon cycle, energy is transformed as plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they obtain energy stored in these organic compounds. Through respiration, organisms release this energy back into the environment in the form of heat.

Do Lysosomes transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP?
Yes!
Organic compounds in the body used to store energy?
Fat
Organelles that transfer energy to organic compounds to ATP are what?
Mitochondria
Can you live without organic compounds and are there alternatives?
No, living organisms require organic compounds for essential functions such as energy production, growth, and repair. There are no feasible alternatives for organic compounds in terms of sustaining life as we know it.
Where do bacteria get there energy from?
-Light Phototroph -Inorganic compounds (Redox!) Lithotroph -Organic compounds Chemotroph
