No, ammonia (NH3) is not an organic molecule as it does not contain Carbon in its composition (nor it is made up of any organic material such as dead and decaying plant or animal body)

Is ammonia organic?

In the sense of the ammonia molecule itself, no it is not an organic molecule, you must have C-H bonds to be considered organic. NH3 (ammonia) however is involved in organic chemistry as a reactant or product. Nitrogen is a vital component to life, NH3 can be produced by nitrogen fixing bacteria; part od the nitrogen cycle. This can then be taken up by plants to stimulate growth. Plants are taken up by animals including humans to help our growth. So yes ammonia is needed for life and in this biological sense it is 'organic'.


Why is ammonia described as inorganic in science?

Organic Chemistry it is the branch of Chemistry that studies molecules with carbon atoms. Ammonia (NH3) is a molecule that can be found in both the living and non-living realms. A good exemple of the later it is vulcanic activity. However, the reason this molecule is considered inorganic in Chemistry is that it does not have any carbon atom in it. Ammonia (NH3) contains only nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Any molecule which contains carbon (C) is considered "Organic", e.g., CaCO3. Limestone, for example is primarily CaCO3, calcium carbonate, and is an organic molecule.

Which organic molecule puts extra strain on kidneys because of the effort necessary to convert ammonia to urea?

Ammonia is the organic molecule that puts extra strain on the kidneys because it needs to be converted to urea through a series of reactions in the liver. Excess ammonia in the body can be toxic, so the liver works to convert it to urea, which is then excreted by the kidneys.
