I think what you're asking is, are the materials autotrophic eukaryotes (multicellular organisms that are able to produce their own glucose for energy), like most plants that use photosynthesis to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water, considered inorganic compounds?

sunlight

H20+CO2---------> C6H12O6 + O2

the best answer I found was,

"Organic compounds are actually compounds containing carbon covalently bonded with a hydrogen. You can say carbon is the main thing here. Compounds of carbon [except oxides, carbonates, bicarbonates] are termed as organic.

Water does not contain a carbon atom. So it is inorganic.

Carbon dioxide is considered by chemists as inorganic, along with carbon monoxide, carbonates and bicarbonates. Nature has not distinguished compounds into inorganic and organic compounds that clearly. These compounds of carbon are just assumed to be inorganic. Also there is that one thing about carbon being covalently bonded with hydrogen in organic compounds. Due to that criteria carbon dioxide is considered inorganic. But actually there is no clear reason."

What is an example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle?

An example of carbon moving from an inorganic compound to an organic compound in the carbon cycle is through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (an inorganic compound) from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose (an organic compound) through a series of chemical reactions using sunlight as an energy source.

Is C2H6S organic or inorganic?

It is definitely ORGANIC m because it contains CARBON. C2H6S is the sulphur equivalent of ethanol(ethyl alcohol). It structure is CH3-CH2-S-H and is named 'Ethane-thiol'. Compare to ethanol CH3-CH2-O-H'. Exactly the same structure except that the oxygen is replaced by the sulphur atom. Also note that both oxygen and sulphur are in the same Group ; Group(6).


Why are most organic molecules are produced by photosynthesis?

Glucose(organic molecule) and oxygen are produced by photosynthesis. Because only plants are capable of synthesizing organic compounds from inorganic substances. The photosynthesis is performed by a number of chemical reactions. The entire process is still beyond the grasp of our technocrates.


What Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called?

Organisms that make their own organic compounds from inorganic substances are called autotrophs. They are capable of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to produce their own food.


How is inorganic carbon converted into organic compounds?

Inorganic carbon is converted into organic compounds through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (inorganic carbon) from the air into organic compounds, such as sugars and carbohydrates. This process involves the absorption of sunlight by chlorophyll, a pigment in plant cells, which powers the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into organic molecules through a series of chemical reactions.
