What is the most abundant organic compound in organisms?
The most abundant organic compound in organisms is carbohydrates, specifically glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for cells and is essential for various metabolic processes in living organisms.
Why are all living things considered organic?
That would be carbon. The definition of an organic molecule or compound is one that contains carbon. Exceptions are for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and a few other carbon molecules by historic convention.
Can you give a sentence with organic chemistry?
an organic compound is a substance that contains the element carbon.
What is the effect of temperature on a solid dissolved in a liquid?
Temperature directly affects all solutions. If the temperature is to high, bonds that need to be formed cant be. For example, at a low temp in an organic mixture you will get more single bonded carbons. At a high temp the organic compound will lose a hydrogen and form a c=c double bond
Is a whale a heterotroph?
Yes, sharks are heterotrophs because they eat other organisms to survive. All animals are heterotrophs (along with fungi and many bacteria). Heterotrophic simply means that these organisms do not produce their own food, but need to consume organic carbons, which come from "autotrophs" - plants, algae, and those bacteria who can create their own food from inorganic elements and the energy from light or from inorganic chemical reactions.
Is table sugar a simple organic com?
Table sugar has the formula C6H12O6. It is regarded as organic. The simplest organic compound is CH4, methane. Compounds need to contain carbons and hydrogens to be regarded as organic, but can contain elements also such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur etc.
How is organic compound used?
There are many, many thousands of organic compounds. You would need to specify which you are referring to
How is an organic compound different from an organic compound?
An organic compound is any compound containing carbon atoms, while an inorganic compound is any compound that does not contain carbon atoms. Organic compounds are typically associated with living organisms and are more complex, while inorganic compounds are simpler and have a wider range of elements other than carbon.
What is an Organic compound that organisms need in small amounts but can't produce?
A vitamin
Why is carbon not considered an organic compound?
Carbon is considered an organic compound when it is bonded to hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or other carbon atoms, forming the basis of all organic compounds. However, when bonded to elements like metals, carbon is not considered organic.
Is S8 organic compound?
"S8" refers to elemental sulfur, which is not considered an organic compound. Organic compounds are composed of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, along with other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. Sulfur in its elemental form does not contain carbon and hydrogen bonded together.
What elements need to be present for a compound to be considered organic?
For a compound to be considered organic, it must contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Additionally, organic compounds often contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens. The presence of carbon-carbon bonds is also a key characteristic of organic compounds.
What is the most abundant organic compound in organisms?
The most abundant organic compound in organisms is carbohydrates, specifically glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for cells and is essential for various metabolic processes in living organisms.
Is wheat flour an organic compound?
yes because Flour contains starch and its basic chemical formula is C6H10O5 .
What volume of an organic solvent should be used to effect a 90 percent separation in one extraction when only 2.7gm of a certain organic compound dissolves in 100 ml of water?
To calculate the required volume of the organic solvent for a 90 percent separation in one extraction, you need to first find out how much of the organic compound will stay in water after extraction. Since 10% of the compound will remain in water after the extraction (due to 90% separation), the mass of the compound that will remain in water is 0.1 * 2.7g = 0.27g. If 2.7g of the compound dissolves in 100 ml of water, then 0.27g will dissolve in 100/10 = 10 ml of water. Therefore, the remaining 90% of the compound (2.43g) needs to dissolve in the organic solvent, so we consider a partition coefficient to find the volume of the organic solvent needed.
What atom are organic compounds made of?
Any compound MUST be made up of atoms of more that one type - otherwise they are not compounds. The only common characteristic of organic compounds is that they contain atoms of carbon, but a lump of pure carbon need not be organic.
Why are all living things considered organic?
That would be carbon. The definition of an organic molecule or compound is one that contains carbon. Exceptions are for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and a few other carbon molecules by historic convention.
