Are lipid's organic compounds?
Answer:
Lipids are an amphiphilic class of hydrocarbon-containing organic compounds.
Hard to answer (I feel). They are the building blocks for organics ; so I would say yes, they are organic compounds.
Yes. They are composed of a glycerol backbone and long chain fatty acids. It cannot get much more organic than that.
yes faty tissue noticible in an eye exam
lipids are organic compounds , YES!, they consist of carbon backbones along with hydrogen atoms and connected together several thousand chains long!
they could be saturated (only single hydrogen bonds) or unsaturated fat, (one or more double bonds in the chain)
saturated is solid at room temp.
unsaturated is liquid at room temp.
ANY organic compound simultaneously satisfies two criteria (necessary and sufficient):
1) It must contain at least one stoichiometic element other than carbon to be a compound. Graphite, diamond, fullerenes, nanotubes, polycarbyne... are not organic compounds.
2) It must contain at least one of a C-C or C-H bond. Urea, melamine, cyanuric acid, guanidine, phosgene... are inorganic. N-Methylurea is organic.
Aluminum carbide is inorganic. Calcium carbide is organic.
