what are some organic compounds
3. Lipids. Lipids are classified as organic compounds due to the presence of carbon molecules in their makeup. Lipids are fatty or waxy substances that are produced naturally in the cells of plants and animals, and have multiple functions.ut researchers have also discovered that some synthetic organic compounds are made as a byproduct inside plants or animals. They're still organic compounds because they contain carbon, but they're also still synthetic since they are made by the organism. One example could be methane, as it's a byproduct of digestion.
Advertisement. An organic compound is formed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen-like glucose molecule. Carbon dioxide cannot be considered an organic compound because it lacks hydrogen. All organic compounds have carbon as the central element, attached to different functional groups.olecules of these compounds are large in size, therefore, they are known as macromolecules. The organic compound, 'carbohydrate' is called so because, a carbohydrate molecule is composed of carbon atoms and 2 hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom.
