Distinguish between organic molecules like Styrofoam and plastic and the organic molecules that characterize living matter?

They were found in oceans and hot springs. According me there is not a lot of organic molecular build up in styrofoam or most of the pure plastics. Environmental issues tend to contaminate these materials with organic materials like potato flour to make them bio degradable. Otherwise they remain a waste problem. DVM


What is the original material that plastics come from?

Most plastics come from hydrocarbon monomers - hydrogen and carbon. Occasionally another element, such as Fluorine, is added to make a different plastic. These monomer molecules are forced to join under heat and pressure (sometimes with a catalyst) to form a polymer. Another group use Silicon rather than carbon. These form the silicone plastics.


Where do plants get the energy to make organic molecules?

By converting energy into molecules. We then eat the plant which carries the molecules of energy. It is organic because its a plant. I'm prerty sure this is correct but if it is not, please correct me!


What forms of plastics can be bought?

Plastic is a general term describing many thousands of different chemical compounds, most of which are polymers - hydrocarbon chains (organic molecules) made of many smaller chains put together. They come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colours, and are used to make almost everything we use today.

Why are cracking large hydrocarbon molecules more useful than the original large molecules?

There is more demand for smaller molecules because they can make up more fuels and plastics. There is less demand for the larger molecules.
