How does the composition of organic foods compare to the composition of organic fuels?
There is no way to compare them as the word organic has entirely different meanings in each context:
- organic in the context of foods means they were grown without use of certain practices seen as potentially unhealthful
- organic in the context of chemistry/fuels means complex carbon compounds
All foods, both organic and nonorganic are organic in the chemical sense.

Why are fossil fuels not considered to be minerals?
Most likely because fossil fuels are not minerals. They are ultimately composed of organic matter which came from living things that died and became buried under sediment. Through a lot of time and a great amount of pressure the fossil fuels were developed. This is also why fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources because it takes so long to make them.

Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?
Fossil fuels are organic compounds made from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These organic materials were subjected to high pressure and heat over time, transforming into coal, oil, and natural gas.
How did the carbon in fossil fuels get there?
Fossil fuels (such as oil) are the result of organic matter breaking down over millions of years. Since Carbon is main element in organic processes, it can be found in fossil fuels as well.
What is the composition of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are primarily composed of hydrocarbons, which are molecules made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms. The main types of fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas, each with a different composition of hydrocarbons. Other elements such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen may also be present in varying amounts.
How is the chemical energy in fossil fuels related to the sun's energy?
Fossil fuels are formed from organic matter that originally obtained its energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This organic matter stored the sun's energy in the form of chemical bonds, which is released as chemical energy when the fossil fuels are burned. So, the chemical energy in fossil fuels can be traced back to the sun's energy.
Are fossil fuels inorganic or organic?
organicDiesel fuel, like all combustible fuels, is considered organic. It is a mixture of several different lengths of hydrocarbons along with some additives for engine protection and fuel stabilization.
Are fossil fuels minerals?
No, fossil fuels are not classified as minerals. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons derived from the remains of plants and animals that have been transformed over millions of years. Minerals, on the other hand, are naturally occurring inorganic substances with a defined chemical composition and crystal structure.
What isn't fossil fuels?
The inorganic/organic fuels that are used as propellent in rockets.
What energy is in food anf fuels?
chemical energy is in foods and fuels
What materials are used to classify objects like plants flowers rocks and even fossil fuels?
Objects like plants, flowers, rocks, and fossil fuels are classified based on their physical and chemical characteristics. For plants and flowers, classification may involve their features, such as leaf shape and flower color. Rocks are classified by their mineral composition and texture. Fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, are classified based on their organic origin and chemical composition.
Why is dead organic matter important to the carbon- oxygen cycle?
Because fossil fuels are produced from dead organic matter. Then the fossil fuels are burnt, and they release carbon.
What is an example of an organic compound found around the house?
Car fuels contain organic compounds.

How do you compare oil with wood as a fuel?
fossil fuels
The energy stored in foods and fuels is potential energy?
Yes, that's correct. The potential energy stored in foods and fuels is released when these substances are burned or metabolized, converting the potential energy into forms such as heat, light, or mechanical energy.
What are all the biofuels?
Biofuels are fuels used in powering machinery such as automobiles that are produced from organic matter, such as corn. They differ from fossil fuels which may have originally been organic matter but have changed chemically.
Fossil fuels are organic compounds that are made from?
Fossil fuels are organic compounds made from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. These organic materials were subjected to high pressure and heat over time, transforming into coal, oil, and natural gas.
