Is hair an organic material?...
Answer:
Hair is actually dead(not living) but because it came from or arose from a living organism, it is considered organic.
i don't think so.
because, it wouldn't decompose even after a long period of time.
I don't know with 100% certainty, but I'd say yes. Anything that has carbon in it is organic, and since people are carbon based, I'd guess our hair is also organic.
not as far as i know...hair is dead cells.....
Yes - it is a protein, Keratin, manufactured by the hair follicle.
Yes
(Organic is something grown from a live animal or plant)
... but that doesn't mean you can eat it
Yes, it is. Anything made up of biomolecules (protein, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates...) are organic.
Definitely.
"Organic" just means not "inorganic." Which really means life based on cabon and not silicon. At least on Earth. Rocks are silicates living stuff is carbon based.
So, even if it will not listen, or do what you want, it is built from somethin that is alive.
Hair is mostly built from proteins that are linked by sulfur bonds. If you force it into position and the break all those sulfur bonds it will stay in place for a while. This is what the hair salons do when they say "permanent." And, that is also why it smells really bad.
Hair is actually Protein. Its Organic.Its made out of Amino acid which is an organic molecule. Interesting thing, when you use hot comb to curl it, you are breaking the disulfide bonds.
it is organic because it is composed of predominantly organic molecules
an organic molecule is a molecule that is composed principally of carbon. this is kind of misleading because most "organic" molecules also contain nitrogen and oxygen, and many organic compounds also contain phosphorous sulfur, chlorine, etc.
there are even organic compounds that contain metals, such as the protein hemoglobin, which contains iron (that is why your blood looks red, it is red because of the presence of oxidized iron which is similar to what people observe as rust, which is an oxide of iron)
