Formation
All living and growing matter on this planet contains organic components. After the living matter dies, it decomposes. The organic matter from organisms and their excretions is broken down through an reactive process into natural organic matter. Larger molecules of organic matter can be formed from the polymerization of different parts of already broken down matter. Natural organic matter can vary greatly, depending on its origin, transformation mode, age, and existing environment, thus its bio-physico-chemical functions vary with different environments."
