Organic compound
* All organic compounds contain carbon.
* Any organic compound is subject to oxidation under proper conditions.
* Many organic compounds contain nitrogen
  - exist as a combination of their enantiomers
* Most organic compounds are nonelectrolytes
  - compose of carbon
* Most organic compounds contain atoms
  - carbon atoms

* Most organic compounds form materials
  - plant materials
* Most organic compounds have amounts
  - bonds
  - chemical bonds
  - effects
  - large amounts
  - profound effects
  - triple bonds
  - play roles
  - provide nutrients
* Some organic compounds are made of acid
  - amino acid
* Some organic compounds are produced by bacteria
  - common bacteria
  - common soil bacteria
  - photosynthesis
  - susceptible to hydrolysis
  - become food
* Some organic compounds cause acute diseases
  - conduct electricity
* Some organic compounds contain acetylene
  - hydrogen
  - sulfur
  - contribute to health problems
  - decrease oxidation
* Some organic compounds find in plants
  - pollute water
  - tea
  - form peroxides in a matter of months under the right circumstance
  - have smaller molecules but they contain hydrogen as well as carbon
  - increase acidity
* Some organic compounds inhibit growth
  - reproduction
  - melt through mesophases , states of partial order between solid and liquid
  - occur in plants
* Some organic compounds participate in atmospheric reaction
* Some organic compounds produce fibre
  - synthetic fibre
* Some organic compounds promote activities
  - microbial activities
  - support growth
  - use energy
* absorb infrared light in unique ways.
* are chemicals that contain carbon, hydrogen, and usually oxygen
  - compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen
  - even more widespread than the inorganic metals
  - found in living organisms
  - generally different from inorganic compounds because they contain carbon
  - made and oxygen is given off as a by-product
  - molecules of one or more elements covalently bonded to carbon atoms
  - mostly insoluble in water
  - named according to the organic nomenclature system
  - often very large and are usually held together by covalent bonds
  - ones with a carbon skeleton
  - organic matter
  - prepared, separated, purified, and characterized
  - substances that contain carbon
  - the compounds made up of the chemical element carbon
* can also plug the pores
  - be of many types and can have many origins
* come from living things.
* consist mainly of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
* contain a. carbon and usually other elements
  - at least one carbon atom
* containing nitrogen are of great importance in biochemistry
  - sulfur are very important
* dissolved in solvents are the active molecules in all dye lasers.
* form the basic building blocks of living tissue
  - chemical basis for life and are more abundant than inorganic compounds
* include solvent.
* is the name for the carbon compounds found in all living things.
* leached from soil also cause foam.
* make up all living matter.
* move within a cell through a process called cyclosis or cytoplasmic streaming.
* occur in the globules, and structures resembling fossil bacteria are present.
* tend to be nonpolar and tend to react slowly unless heated
  - break down when left to themselves
  - dissolve in organic solvents
* vary greatly in their rate of decomposition.
