Any substance containing carbon-based compunds, especially produced by or delivered from living organisms.
Something unrelated to organic matter or organic life, or a chemical compound that does not contain carbon.
A half-reaction in which a chemical species decreases it's oxidation number, usually by gaining electrons.
An energy-producing reaction in living cells; coupled with a reduction reaction.
A C-N link between two amino acid molecules, formed by a condensation reaction.
