What does organic mean in the study of chemistry and biology?

Answer 1

Answer

Meaning of Organic In foods means: Naturally grown. No unnatural additives or fertilizers were used. In chemistry means: to do with carbon based molecules. In chemistry organic is concerned with the carbon compounds of living beings and also most other carbon compounds.

In food organic is referring to that which was produced without the use of hormones, antibiotics (for non-medicinal purposes), synthetic fertilizers or pesticides in accordance with the USDA National Organic Program (NOP).

Answer

1. of living things: relating to, derived from, or characteristic of

living organisms - "organic remains found in rocks. ".

2. developing naturally: occurring or developing gradually and

naturally, without being forced or contrived; developing in the manner

of a living plant or animal - "society is organic".

3. intrinsic: forming a basic and inherent part of something and largely

responsible for its identity or makeup; of the elements of a whole which

are harmoniously related; having systematic coordination of parts

4. naturally efficiently organized: being made of parts that exist

together in a seemingly natural relationship that makes for organized

efficiency need to integrate the various functions of the department

into an organic whole; systematic arrangement of parts

5. (agriculture) avoiding synthetic chemicals: relating to or employing

agricultural practices that avoid the use of artificial chemicals in

favor of naturally occurring pesticides, fertilizers, and other growing

aids

6. (food) produced without synthetic chemicals: grown or reared without

the use of synthetic chemicals a wide range of organic produce

7. (medicine) of body's organs: relating to the organs of the body,

specifically to basic changes in them brought about by physical

disorders

8. (chemistry) based on carbon: belonging to a family of compounds that

are ultimately of biological origin. (Compounds which do not have carbon

atoms are called inorganic compounds).

9. (Biology) pertaining to, derived from, like, of the nature of, an

organ of a plant or animal - "an organic disease".

10. (law) Denoting or relating to the fundamental or constitutional laws

and precepts of a government or an organization.

11. of, pertaining to, or affecting living tissue - "organic pathology".

12. (Psychology) caused by neurochemical, neuroendocrinologic,

structural, or other physical impairment or change - "organic disorder".

ANYTHING LIVING WAS LIVING AFFECTS LIVING NOT MAN MADE

BASICALLY it means natural.

Answer 2

berzilius in1807 coined new terms organic and inorganic.He believed that organic componds were from living organisms and they were produced under the influence of a vital forceand they could not be prepared by laboratory methods which was later proved to be wrong..

Answer 3

This is not always entirely clear, but most chemists would say that all the hydrocarbons and all their derivatives in which at least one carbon-hydrogen bond in a hydrocarbon is replaced by a covalent bond to some atom other than hydrogen would qualify as organic. However, carbonates, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are often considered inorganic, even though at least the latter two of these would qualify as organic under the general definition. Calcium carbide is also somewhat controversially assigned to either category, being considered organic because structurally it is the calcium salt of the hydrocarbon acetylene (also called "ethyne") or inorganic because it is an ionic salt.

Answer 4

it means it is made eg from a pig or a cow, or grown

Answer 5

Organic Chemistry is the chemistry of substances that are produced by the living organisms.

Answer 6

Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.

Answer 7

In chemistry a compounds containing carbon are considered organic; but by tradition several compounds with carbon are included in the inorganic group.
