Organic compounds have carbon in them. They are a chemical compound. These type of bonds in the organic compounds are called covalent bonds. The other type of bond is called the ionic bond. Most organic compounds contain covalent, but there are a few that contain ionic bonds. In the organic compounds there are energy and information stored in them. Some of the organic compounds have polar-covalent bonds.

This means that they are organic molecules that have a higher or lower negativity charge than carbon. When the organism breaks the bonds of organic compounds, then the compound obtains energy. After that, the rest of the organic compound will reassemble the remaining materials. This will make a new compound than what it originally was.
