3. Lipids. Lipids are classified as organic compounds due to the presence of carbon molecules in their makeup. Lipids are fatty or waxy substances that are produced naturally in the cells of plants and animals, and have multiple functions.ut researchers have also discovered that some synthetic organic compounds are made as a byproduct inside plants or animals. They're still organic compounds because they contain carbon, but they're also still synthetic since they are made by the organism. One example could be methane, as it's a byproduct of digestion.
