| An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates and carbon oxides. The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry. |
