Homework Help: 9th grade SCIENCE

Posted by 6739 on Friday, February 26, 2010 at 3:56pm.

I have to list 5 different organic compounds; list different types for each; name; structure; properties; and uses. I am a bit confused as to what an organic compound actually is. I know it must contain a carbon, but would vegetables or household foods be considered organic compounds? Thank you.
