Carbon compounds can be organic or inorganic. Organic compounds contain carbon and are found in living things, while inorganic compounds do not come from living things. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made of only carbon and hydrogen, such as methane and petrol. Fats are also organic compounds that can be saturated or unsaturated, with saturated fats like palm oil and butter being solid at room temperature. Ethanol is produced through fermentation of glucose by yeast.
