Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The meaning of the term “organic compound.”
Answer to Problem 1CQ
An organic compound is a compound that contains carbon as the main element. Living or nonliving systems can synthesize organic compounds.
Explanation of Solution
Carbon is one of the several vital elements, which make all the living things. Carbon has a valency of four which allows it to form four bonds with four atoms. A compound, in which carbon is the main element and is formed by a living or nonliving system, is called an organic compound. The study of carbon-containing compounds is known as organic chemistry. Organic compounds cover a wide range of molecules, for example, plastics, gasoline, and glucose.

Plants grow in many different shapes and sizes. Much of their shape depends on an internal structure that is composed of
carbon-containing molecules such as cellulose and lignin. Plants that have a strong internal structure can grow larger than other
plants because their structure can support their size.
Plants obtain the majority of the carbon necessary for building these structural molecules from -
