Chemical composition of living
organism
Living organism = the source of organic matter in
sediment
From the lowest to the highest in the living hierarchy.
From prokaryotes to eukaryotes.

Primary Producers of Organic Carbon
The most important producers quantitatively are:
Bacteria
Higher plants
Phytoplankton
Zooplankton
Unsaturated = alkenes
Unsaturated compounds have double bonds; stronger than
single bonds
Can undergo addition reaction to form saturated compound

Geochemically important functional groups
(killops & killops, 2005)
Functional groups: atoms or heteroatoms
(mainly O, S, N) that incorporated into
basic hydrocarbon structure
A functional group confers characteristic
chemical properties on a compound
compounds are often considered
collectively under the name of the
functional group they contain, e.g.
carboxylic acids for the compounds bearing
a carboxyl group.
