I believe the answer you are looking for is carbon. While it is not a molecule, Carbon is the focus of organic chemistry and is a major component of living things. The most important molecules in Biology are considered to be proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids and water, but they cannot be considered the focus of organic chemistry.
carbohydrates can be known as organic molecules as they have carbon as a central element
All carbohydrates are definitively hydrocarbons. An organic molecule is loosely defined as one containing Carbon and Hydrogen. Putting these two facts together would suggest that no they are always organic. They can however be produced by "inorganic" methods.
As long as there is carbon in the molecule, the molecule is considered organic.
