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 dp you think are the reactants in photosynthesis?
which do you think are the reactants in photosynthesis
What reactants are involved in photosynthesis?
The reactants that are involved in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. These reactants mix to form food for the plant and oxygen for animals.
What is an organism called that manufactures its own food?
Organisms that synthesize their own organic compounds from inorganic ones are called autotrophs.The phenomenon is autotrophy; green plants and some other organisms perform it by photosynthesis, while some prokaryotes perform chemosynthesis, synthesizing organic substances using energy not from light but from inorganic chemical reactions.When discussing ecosystems, autotrophs are called producers.
Is chlorophyll a organic or inorganic?
No. (sunlight is already energy).Chlorophyll is a chemical in plants that is involved in photosynthesis, using light energy to create nutrients that a plant needs to flourish.
Are bio-molecules organic or inorganic?
It is organic
Is Carbon dioxide organic or inorganic?
inorganic. It can be converted to an organic compound through photosynthesis.
What is the process in which inorganic molecules moves to organic?
You think probable to photosynthesis.
What are producers that generate organic compounds from inorganic material?
Plants by photosynthesis reaction.
What is the name of the process where by sunlight converts inorganic material into organic compounds?
photosynthesis
How photosynthesis help in reduction of inorganic carbon to organic compound?
Carbon fixation
Are living things inorganic or organic?
they are both organic and inorganic
What dp you think are the reactants in photosynthesis?
which do you think are the reactants in photosynthesis
Why are plants called procedure?
Because plants produce organic compounds from inorganic compound through photosynthesis.
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.
Is C2H6S organic or inorganic?
it is organic
Is leaf inorganic or organic?
organic
Is ammonia NH3 organic or inorganic?
it is organic
