There are four main organic molecules that combine to build cells and their parts: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA). |
This sounds like organic molecules are only created by life. But non-life chemical processes are known to create organic molecules. And actually it is the other way around: life is created only in the presence of organic molecules. But yes, most organic molecules are produced by living organisms.
