DNA and RNA are examples of the organic compound called nucleic acids. Other organic compounds include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
DNA and RNA are organic compounds, as they are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus atoms. They are essential molecules found in living organisms, responsible for transmitting genetic information and carrying out various cellular functions.
RNA and DNA are found under Nucleic Acids.
considered as organic compounds
organic --- but RNA is not technically ONE compound. Since it holds the genetic code and the genetic code of different people, animals, etc is different then each individual has a slightly different molecule for RNA (or DNA)
They are all organic compounds, called biomolecules.
Deoxyribonucleic acid is an organic molecule. There are many carbon rings and chains in this structure.
Phosphorus is not in all organic compounds, but it is often found in biological molecules such as DNA, RNA, and ATP. It is a key element in building and storing energy in living organisms.
The 4 main organic compounds: Carbohydrates = create energy Lidids = act as an energy reserve nucleic acids = compose RNA and DNA proteins = do most of the work in a cell
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids - chains of nucleotides. This is evident from their names (deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA, and ribonucleic acid - RNA).

no - it is organic

Deoxyribonucleic acid is an organic molecule. There are many carbon rings and chains in this structure.
Nucleic acids, and Nucleotides.
Sugars such as glucose, sucrose and fructose are carbon compounds. Proteins, amino-acids, DNA, RNA and all organic compounds are examples. There are literally millions.

the first organic compound was obtained by Wohler when he obtained urea(organic compound)from ammonium cyanate(inorganic compound),i.e.NH4CNO-------------------->(NH2)2COMain Sources:coal,petroleum & natural gas(CH4, small quantity of C2H6)Actually organic compounds are present in living bodies they are present in shape of enzymes,lipids,carbohydrates,proteins,DNA,RNA,vitaminsetc,because all these compoundes contain sufficent amount of organic compounds
Carbohydrates (sugar, fiber)ProteinsLipids (fats,oils, acids)Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA)
DNA and RNA contain are made up of the biomolecule nucleic acids.
