Answer:

To answer, all living organisms contain carbon-based compounds, which classifies them organic.

Simply, carbon dioxide, is an example of an inorganic compound since it does not contain both carbon and hydrogen. Alternatively, one molecule of carbon dioxide contains one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
