Here's why:
* Carbon and Hydrogen: Organic compounds are built around a framework of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms.
* Living Things: Organic compounds are the building blocks of all living things. They form the basis of carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), which are essential for life processes.
While there are other compounds containing carbon and hydrogen (like methane, CH4), they are not necessarily associated with living things.
