Difference between organic and inorganic substances?
In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
What is responsible for bone structure?
An organic molecule is a molecule which contains the element carbon. An inorganic molecule is the opposite. Almost all of the molecules that are inside the human body would be classified as organic molecules.
What ways are protein molecules similar to polysaccharides?
polysachharides are wood plastic is plastic
How is ATP like and unlike nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are a braod category of compounds. Chemically at least, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contains a adenine ring, a ribose sugar and 3 phosphate molecules. A nucleic acid is composed of a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine), a pentose sugar and a phosphate group. Since adenine, which is itself a purine, can be found in some nucleic acids, the similarities would be the possibility of both containing adenine, both contain a sugar molecule and both contain phosphate molecules. The numbers they each contain would be the difference.
Molecules A and B are both organic molecules found in many cells when tested it is found that molecule A cannot pass through a cell membrane but molecule B easily passes through state one way the two?
The molecules differ in size. B must be smaller than A because it can diffuse through the semipermeable cell membrane.
Why carbon is found in All Organic molecules?
Yes, carbon is found in all organic molecules. Most organic molecules contain both carbon and hydrogen.
What chemical element is found in all organic molecules?
Thid chemical element is carbon (C).
Are organism made up of organic molecules inorganic or both?
Both organic and inorganic molecules or macromolecules
How do organic compounds differ from organic molecules?
Both are the same.
What does an organic compound contain?
All organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen.
Why carbon dioxide is not an organic compound?
Organic compounds contain a carbon atom covalently bonded to a hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is very important in organic chemistry and carbon chemistry in general, but it is not organic because it contains only carbon and oxygen ... no hydrogen.
What do organic molecules and inorganic molecules have in common?
they are both composed of atoms
Is organic molecules saturated or unsatuerated?
Both.
Which pair of compounds can be classified as inorganic?
water and salts Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen bonds. Both nucleic acids and proteins contain these. Water (H2O) and salts (ex: NaCl) do not.
What is an abundant element found in both water molecules and most organic molecules?
hydrogen
Is vitamin D organic or inorganic?
It's arbitrary (and some chemicals are classed as both);but in general organic contains carbon molecules and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds.Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
How are organic and inorganic molecules alike?
they are both composed of atoms.
