1 Organic compounds are those that contain carbon (e.g. carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids). 2  For example, a piece of human liver contains 80% water, 12% protein, 5% fats, 2% nucleic acids, 1% carbohydrate and less than 1% of other substances. 3  Many organic molecules are assembled from small repeated units. Proteins are macromolecules made from amino acids, nucleic acids are made from nucleotides, carbohydrates are made from monosaccharides or simple sugars, and lipids are made from fatty acids and glycerol.
