    Sure thing! In chemistry, an organic compound is anything that has carbon in it. Carbon dioxide, for example, is an organic compound. While organic compounds are what life is made of, they don’t necessarily come from life. Biological, in this context, would be something that’s part of a living thing.

    If any actual chemists want to correct anything I’ve said wrong or expand on this that would be appreciated
