Is ammonia organic?

In the sense of the ammonia molecule itself, no it is not an organic molecule, you must have C-H bonds to be considered organic. NH3 (ammonia) however is involved in organic chemistry as a reactant or product. Nitrogen is a vital component to life, NH3 can be produced by nitrogen fixing bacteria; part od the nitrogen cycle. This can then be taken up by plants to stimulate growth. Plants are taken up by animals including humans to help our growth. So yes ammonia is needed for life and in this biological sense it is 'organic'.
