The definition of organic is: "of, relating to, or derived from living organisms (2) : of, relating to, yielding, or involving the use of food produced with the use of feed or fertilizer of plant or animal origin without employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides <organic farming> <organic produce> b (1) : of, relating to, or containing carbon compounds (2) : relating to, being, or dealt with by a branch of chemistry concerned with the carbon compounds of living beings and most other carbon compounds".\n\nSo, how many examples do you want?  There are millions.  Air.  Water.  Sugar.  Food not coming from McDonald's.  Do you need more examples?

Water has numerous uses inside the human body. You cannot live without water, your organs will fail and shutdown. That would probably be the most important contribution water has to the human body, keeping you alive. \n\nWater is a good solvent, high surface tension, able to dissolve many substances, and high boiling boint --- all of these reasons allow organic molecules to be transported in water. Also, think about metabolism. It carries out the chemical reactions that are occuring inside the body. The outside of the cells are in contact with the water, keeping dehydration from occuring.

yes, the chemicals we use in our cleaning products, personal products, and building products (including inside and out) all cause damage to ourselves and internal systems, and the earth and atmosphere.\n\ni have converted my home to only environmentally friendly cleaning and personal care products.  i try to use recycle products, and i recycle everything i can.  i will one day build a green house, but not for a while$$$$$$$......

those two are proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).  those two are present in all the living beings (the only problem with them is, that in viruses they are present - but some scientists belive that viruses are not living materia).\n\nthere are other organic components in living materia, such as lipids, carbohzdrates, vitamins, ferments etc.\n\nand those organic moleculas are composed of minerals - those which are listed in the first answer.

Any molecules that contain carbon are organic, even if they are not produced by biological processes. Carbon dioxide is organic. Methane is organic. These two gasses alone are found on almost all planets in our solar system and at least one moon (Titan). These and other organic molecules have been detected in comets and interstellar clouds (nebulae), including vinyl alcohol as reported in the source below.

Organic compounds all have carbon. No carbon in the molecular structure, then it is not organic. I don't think you can limit the number of classes to four. In living organisms, classes include carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids.  Almost all organic compounds fall into one these classes.

There  ate tons of mediums commercially available to culture bacteria, they come in the from of liquid (broth) or  solid media (agar). They can be non selective, selective or to differentiate.\nBut is you are looking for a household material you can use  baby food or gelatin. It depends on what you want to cultivate.\n For example if you use the baby food there will also grow fungi and other microorganism.

There is no such thing as true organic veg/fruit/meat. The field can be cross contaminated by spraying in other fields as the wind will carry fertilizers and chemicals. Plus planes dumping aviation fuel in the atmosphere can contaminate everything on the ground. Even animals like us breathe in this junk that is everywhere. It is a waste of money buying organic food, it has no extra health benefits.\nAbout Organic\n\nInteresting Facts About Organic Farming\nPesticides:\n\nOver 450 pesticide active ingredients are licensed for use in UK agriculture (1), and around 25,000 tonnes of pesticides were applied to UK crops in 2000 (2). Due to the persistent nature of many pesticides, air, water and soils are inevitably contaminated by them.\n\nSoil Association standards only allow organic farmers restricted use of seven non-synthetic pesticides that have been approved on the basis of their origin, environmental impact and potential to persist as residues.\n\nThey tend to represent the final option for pest control when other methods have failed or are known to be ineffective. They are only used on a non-routine basis following authorisation from the certifying body for a specific reason.\n\nTrace elements of pesticides often remain in our food; A "Which" report of September 2001 states "pesticides used in conventional farming are toxic chemicals which kill insects, weeds and fungi, for example. But they can also harm humans, wildlife and the environment"\n\nThe issue of pesticide residues in produce is particularly pertinent to children, who consume far more produce per pound of body weight than do adults. But with regard to children, the issue of pesticide residues is not limited to foods. There is growing evidence that children are far more sensitive than adults to the effects of pesticides in the environment, due to their rapidly developing nervous systems.\nFood additives:\n\nOrganic standards permit only a limited list of around 30 additives which are allowed in organic food products only if the authenticity of the product is respected and the product cannot be produced or preserved without them.\n\nMore than 500 food additives are permitted for use in non-organic processed foods (3). Food colourings such as tartrazine and other additives have been linked with symptoms such as allergic reactions, urticaria, headaches, asthmas, growth retardation and hyperactivity in children.\nHydrogenated fats:\n\nNo hydrogenated fats are used in organic food production. Also known as "trans-fats", they are created artificially by the hydrogenation process and are included in many processed foods to make the product more solid (for example, in biscuits and margarines).\n\nIn 1994 the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy recommended reducing the amount of hydrogenated fats in the British diet (4), but they are still widely used and are present in many processed foods.\nWildlife:\n\nOrganic farming has many benefits for wildlife and the environment. For example, organic dairy farms do not cut hedges between March and October when birds are nesting. They are also restricted to cutting them once every 2 years, to provide undisturbed habitats for species such as dormice. Organic farmers are not allowed to plough up traditional meadows rich in wildlife.\n\nThe RSPB has stated that "organic farming systems benefit the environment"\n\nIn May 2000 the Soil Association and WWF-UK carried out research into the biodiversity benefits of organic farming (5). These were some of their research findings:\n\nPlants: five times as many wild plants in arable fields, 57 percent more species, and several rare and declining wild arable species found only on the organic farms.\n\nBirds: 25 per cent more birds at the field edge, 44 per cent more in-field in autumn/winter, 2.2 times as many breeding skylarks and higher skylark breeding rates.\n\nInvertebrates: 1.6 times as many of the arthropods that comprise bird food; three

Phenol plays an unseen, but major role, in our everyday lives. Plywood, window glazing, compact discs (CDs), computers, sports equipment, and car headlights are some of the many items that rely on this important raw material. \n\nPhenol is a major component of the phenolic adhesives used in wood products such as plywood and oriented strandboard. It is also used to produce phenolic resins, which are used in the moulding of heat-resistant components for household appliances, counter-top and flooring laminates, and foundry castings. In addition, it is a valuable intermediate in the manufacture of detergents, agricultural chemicals, medicines, plasticisers, and dyes. \n\nThe largest single market for phenol is in the production of Bisphenol A (BPA), which is manufactured from phenol and acetone. BPA is, in turn, used to manufacture polycarbonate (the largest and fastest growing use for BPA) and epoxy resins. \n\nBoth polycarbonate and epoxy resins are used in many different industries and in countless items which we encounter everyday like CDs, circuit boards and fibre glass boats. \n\nWhen reacted with bromine, BPA forms the fire retardant tetrabromobisphenol A. BPA is also used to manufacture engineering thermoplastics such as polysulfones and polyarylates.
