Is biochemistry the study of carbon containing compounds?

Yes, biochemistry is the study of chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms, which can include carbon-containing compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.


Does carbon react with acids or bases?

Carbon itself is a non-metal and does not react with acids or bases. However, compounds containing carbon in various forms like organic compounds can react with both acids and bases. Carbon dioxide, produced when carbon-containing compounds are burned, can react with water to form carbonic acid, which is a weak acid.


Are carbon and hydrogen compounds organic?

Yes, compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen are generally considered organic compounds. Organic chemistry focuses on studying these types of compounds and their reactions. However, not all compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are considered organic; some inorganic compounds also contain these elements.


Is methane organic or inorgaic?

Methane is an organic compound because it contains carbon-hydrogen bonds. Organic compounds are generally defined as compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bonds, while inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.


Are carbon based compounds organic?

Yes, carbon-based compounds are considered organic compounds. Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that primarily deals with compounds containing carbon, with a few exceptions, such as carbonates, cyanides, and carbides, which are considered inorganic.
