  • Is Starch Organic or Inorganic? A Simple Explanation
    Starch is not inorganic. It is a carbohydrate, which means it is organic.

    Here's why:

    * Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Starch is made up of long chains of glucose molecules, which are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

    * Inorganic compounds typically lack carbon and hydrogen in their structure.

    Therefore, starch, due to its carbon and hydrogen content, fits the definition of an organic compound.
