When organisms break the bonds of organic compounds the organism can?
i did this question for biology and the answer is choice 3. i forgot what it said but its 3. YOU ARE INCORRECT MR. IT IS (D)-OBTAIN ENERGY OR REASSEMBLE THE RESLULTING MATERIALS TO FORM DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS -SOPHIE! @ Sophie: Thats what she/he said...
Why organic chemistry is so important to study of biology?
Organic Chemistry is important because most reactions in Biology are organic reactions. Organic Chemistry is the study of structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds. Biology is the study of biological organisms and processes. All biological organisms and processes are created, maintained and changed through chemical processes and are made up of chemical compounds. Without an understanding organic chemistry one cannot accurately and fully understand biology.
Do most organisms contain inorganic compounds and organic compounds?
All the organisms mostly contain organic compounds. Organic compounds are made of elements C and H. Some can contain N,P,S too.
Why organisms need carbon?
Its the only element that forms long chain compounds.
Why are organic compounds called organic compounds?
because it was once believed that such compounds could not be synthesized in a lab but could only be produced in living things/organisms because of some "supernatural essence" unique to themorganic compounds are very complex carbon compounds
When organisms break the bonds of organic compound the organisms can?
obtain enery and/or they will reassemble the resulting materials to form different compounds

A sentence with the word genus?
The genus rank of different organisms is different. It is used to classify biological organisms.
Is organic compounds are found in living organisms?
Not necessarily. Many organic compounds are found in living organisms, but not all of them. nore are all the compounds in an organism organic. Any compound that contains bonds between carbon and hydrogen is classified as organic, whether or not it is of a biological origin.
What can two organisms not do according to the biological species concept?
According to the biological species concept, two organisms are of different species if they do not do which of these
Are plastics organic?
No, plastics are not organic. They are derived from fossil fuels and are considered synthetic materials. Organic materials are derived from living organisms and contain carbon-based compounds.
Why is transport materials essential in living organisms?
Essential materials, such as nutrients and oxygen have to be transported to different parts of the body in living organisms. Without this mechanism, life will not be sustained.
Why is transport of materials essential in living organisms?

The CBRNE agents are living organisms or materials derived from them that cause disease or harm to humans animals or plants?
CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and high yield Explosives) have the ability to create both mass casualties as well as mass disruption of society. Agents that are living organisms or materials derived from them that cause disease or harm to humans, animals, or plants are biological.
What is an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by products and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials?
Heterotoph
What are the biological importance of heterocyclic compounds?
Heterocyclic compounds play important roles in biological processes as they are found in many essential molecules such as nucleic acids, vitamins, hormones, and enzymes. They often exhibit diverse pharmacological activities and are commonly used as the core structures in drug design and development. Additionally, heterocyclic compounds are involved in various metabolic pathways within living organisms.
